    On MLK day the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame had free admission and, at least currently, they have regular showings of Help! playing in their movie theater. Wow, crazy, ridiculously funny. The sight gags and nonsensical dialog were a trip.

    A one joke movie stretched way beyond breaking point. Eleanor Bron and Leo McKern work hard to save the film from being a complete disaster but The Beatles themselves, by this time jaded, cynical and smoking marijuana, have lost much of their appeal from "A Hard Day's Night". Joh...( read more)n's two great numbers "Help!" and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" aside, the songs are weaker this time round, too. And as a template for the subsequent Monkees television show, "Help!" has much to answer for.

    The Beatles and director Richard Lester here create an anarchic, funny film that really created two genres: the music video and Monty Python. I'm serious. Take another look at the film and you'll see the genesis of those brilliant British surrealist comedians. George Harrison ...( read more)always said that Monty Python carried on the "spirit" of the Beatles more than any band ever could. Taking a second look at Help! confirms his suggestion. It's funny, it's got great music and it's soooo British. Check it out.

    The film fades into insignificance compared to the music. I could have pulled a better storyline out of my bellybutton. Disjointed and lacking the charm of Hard Days Night.

    If it were not for the outstanding soundtrack and the wonderfully dreadful one liners from the boys, th...( read more)is film wouldn't have been viewed to the end.
