The first film starring Music/TheBeatles. It provided clear caricatures of the band's members – perhaps not ideal, but better than the {{Band Toon}}s. [[note]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBeatles1965 The cartoon]], and the animated film, ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine''. [[/note]] And it helped fuel the phenomenon it showed on-screen.

It was directed by Creator/RichardLester, who did a lot of surreal comedy (he'd previously worked on film adaptations of ''Radio/TheGoonShow''), some of which is seen in this film. Paul's grandfather was played by Creator/WilfridBrambell, a veteran of British TV of the era. Glamour model Creator/MargaretNolan plays the voluptuous GamblerGroupie who drapes herself all over Paul's grandfather at the casino. The screenwriter was Alun Owen, who spent a week with the group to write the right script, and was nominated for an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward. If you'd like to find out what's scripted and [[ThrowItIn what's improvised]], his original screenplay has been published and is still in print.
