We enjoyed making Help! more than Hard Day’s Night, but looking back on the two I think Hard Day’s Night was the better film. We knew we couldn’t have another Hard Day’s Night — and with the next one we want to do something even more different. Help! was great but it wasn’t our film — we were sort of guest stars. I think everybody thought a little bit too grandly about Help! — all those glamorous locations. It was fun, but basically as an idea for a film it was a bit wrong.
Paul McCartney – From interview for London Life, December 4, 1965
Paul: “Filming Help! stretched us a bit, giving us more than one line at a time to say.”
John: “Help! was too Disneyland. Later there was a rash of films similar to Help! and I could see what Richard Lester, the director, was doing. But he didn’t really utilise us in that film. He forgot about who and what we were, and that’s why the film didn’t work. It was like having clowns in a movie about frogs.”
