In 1964, black and white music comedy 'A Hard Day's Night' was released, starring the world's most famous rock band The Beatles. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr took to the big screen at the peak of what was commonly referred to as Beatlemania, but not to do your average music documentary. The movie shows the Liverpool lads' eventful trip from their hometown to London, encountering overexcited fans, dealing with Paul's very irresponsible grandfather, and going on a rather comical trip around the city in a bid to find Ringo after Paul's grandfather convinced him to wander off. Luckily enough, no problem was too serious and they eventually managed to hit the stage for a major concert to be televised for the movie.
To celebrate fifty years since the release of the film (which was nominated for two Academy Awards, a BAFTA and a Grammy), a remastered version is set to hit cinemas once again with 4k digital restoration and three new audio options. Directed by Richard Lester ('Superman II', 'The Three Musketeers') and written by Alun Owen ('The Criminal'), 'A Hard Day's Night' will re-enter cinemas on July 4th 2014, with a DVD and Blu-Ray release set for July 21st.
