Hard Day's Night (1964)

Trivia: During one of the songs, Shake brings an amp onto the set. Watch as George proceeds to knock it over seconds later.

Trivia: If you look at one scene where Shake and Norm are in a room talking, you can see a copy of John Lennon's book, 'In His Own Write,' in the background.

Trivia: In the press conference scene, when the reporter asks John if he has any hobbies, you can just barely see that he writes down "tits" on her notepad.

Trivia: A lot of the casting for the teenage fans in the film was done by Phil Collins' mum. This led to him being cast as an extra. If you look in the audience in the final performance, to the right of the handcuffed Shake, you can see the young Phil.

Trivia: The blonde schoolgirl in the train dining car is Patty Boyd, who later became George Harrison's first wife and had three famous songs written about her: "Something," "Layla," and "Wonderful Tonight." The latter two were written by Eric Clapton, a friend of Harrison's, and who later became Boyd's husband after her divorce from Harrison. (00:09:35)

Trivia: Throughout the film people keep referring to Paul's granddad as a 'very clean man'. This is a reference to the programme 'Steptoe and Son' which Wilfred Bramble starred in. Through the entire run of the series he was constantly referred to by his son as 'You dirty old man'.
