Help! (1965) dir. Richard Lester

The Beatles' Search History 🪲 (pt 4)

I will never shut up about the sled

Made my favourite scene from Help! (1965) into a print. The original pencil drawing was done during lockdown and I must have been thinking that particular luxury midcentury surrealistic loft would not be too bad to be stuck in.

Get a copy!

John and Paul stunt doubles decided to use THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

Stealthy George

John protective boyfriend mode: activated Paul is confused but we appreciate the energy, in any case let's lean on angry boy

"One morning during the filming of Help!, George came into the group's rented digs looking as if he'd just gotten up. It's one of my favorites - he looks so vulnerable." ~ Henry Grossman

George Harrison and Ringo Starr talking about filming Help! (1965) in The Beatles Anthology (1995)

George: We had fun in those days [...] It's difficult when four people all have to say lines, you know, one behind the other, and, you know, if one person forgets it, you've got to start again, and then the next person'd forget his lines, and we did some scenes... the scenes that were in Buckingham Palace, in Help... (laughs) we were doing that scene for days... you know, where they put some, there was some pipe with some red smoke comes through, you know, and we shove it out the window and all the guards fall over... that scene, it just went on forever, you know, and we were just in stitches, just in hysterics, laughing. And we pushed Dick Lester I think to the limit of his... because he was very, very easy-going, he was a pleasure to work with

Ringo: There's one scene in the film, where Victor Spinetti and whoever else was in the scene, and they're doing that curling... you know, those big stones they do... and one of them of course has a bomb in it! We find out about this, 'oh, it's gonna blow up', and we have to run, we have to run away... Well, Paul and I ran about seven miles... (laughing)... we just ran, and ran, so we could stop and have a joint, and come back. We were just off! You know, we'd run to Switzerland.
