Revivals Film Screening: A Hard Day's Night

eventdetail
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston serves as the exclusive Houston venue for the U.S. release of the 50th anniversary restoration of A Hard Day's Night. Experience this digitally restored classic in 4K resolution, enhanced by a new 5.1 sound mix produced by Giles Martin, son of longtime Beatles manager George Martin.

When worldwide Beatlemania hit in 1964, United Artists wanted to ship out a Beatles movie before the vogue was over. Working within a tight $500,000 budget, director Richard Lester turned out A Hard Day's Night in a fast six-and-a-half weeks. Using a variety of techniques cribbed from Hollywood slapstick comedies, the French New Wave movement and his own experiences as a TV-commercial director, Lester fashioned an exhilarating study of a typical 36 hours in the lives of the Fab Four. Songs include "And I Love Her," "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Should Have Known Better," "If I Fell," "Tell Me Why" and the title song "A Hard Day’s Night."
