The unnamed but rather pompous gentleman the Beatles encounter on the train is played by Richard Vernon, who also played Colonel Smithers in ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' which was released in the same year as this film. The two characters could well be the same person -- the Bank of England executive who briefs James Bond on how to smuggle gold also ends up in the same train compartment as four cheeky Liverpudlians while commuting to or from work. We know that the Beatles exist in Bond's world because 007 himself makes a disparaging comment about wearing ear-muffs while listening to them (also in ''Goldfinger'', as it happens).

[[WMG: ''A Hard Day's Night'' is a {{documentary}} about Music/{{the Beatles}}.]]
