For the second consecutive day, The Beatles continued filming the temple scene at the ramshackle Bahamian hospital facility, marking the fourteenth day of production on “Help!“.

The day-to-day filming activity in the Bahamas is drawn from “The Complete Beatles Chronicle” by Mark Lewisohn.


On the 7th and 8th they filmed at what, in the movie, they assumed to be a temple, and what, in real life, they assumed to be a disused army camp. (In fact, it was a ramshackle hospital for handicapped children and old people, the state of which disgusted the Beatles.)
