The story

What Is You Can’t Do That! The Making of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ About?

The premise of You Can’t Do That! The Making of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ without spoilers.

Thirty years after its release, producer Walter Shenson, director Richard Lester, writer Alun Owen and other crew recall how United Artists commissioned the movie to accompany a soundtrack, hired Lester, secured the Beatles as stars, and wrote a script depicting them as prisoners of their own fame. Phil Collins, who was an extra, narrates the documentary, exploring what was improvised, why it succeeded, its influence on cinema, and how it defined the public image of each Beatle.
