Hard Day's Night (1964)

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.

Suggested correction: It's true that Phil Collins was cast as a teen fan extra for the Beatles' TV concert at the end, but his specific scene was cut from the final film. However, the deleted footage was shown in the 30th anniversary documentary, 'You Can't Do That!: The Making of a Hard Day's Night,' which Collins narrated.

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'.

Trivia: Just before the Beatles escape down the fire exit, you can hear Norm say, "And you'll stay in this room, even if I have to put the lock in the key and turn it."
