‘Beatles ’64’ Review: Martin Scorsese Produces New Take On Band’s First U.S. Visit & It’s A Nostalgic, Enlightening Must-See


A review of 'Beatles '64' which chronicles the bands first visit to the USA in 1964 with extensive access given that has now been included in new take.

The history of rock ‘n roll from the 50’s and the Beatles unique interest and admiration in covering black artists like Little Richard and Smokey Robinson is also gone into detail, as well as the outrage in some quarters and among parents as to the influence of this mop-topped quartet from Liverpool. The vintage footage of the young girls scheming to get past security in the hotel and into the rooms of the Beatles is hilarious, and clearly inspired Robert Zemeckis’ early comedy, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Cast: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joe Queenan, Jamie Bernstein, Ronnie Spector, Danny Bennett, Jack Douglas, Smokey Robinson, Ron Isley, Harry Benson, David Lynch.
