Following the great box office success of Beatles' A HARD DAYS NIGHT in theaters across the USA rival studios tried to hop on the Rritish Invasion rock band movie trend with movies starring bands such as Dave Clark 5 and Herman's Hermits. However Beatles were the Beatles, the true superstars of early British Invasion era and they gave us a great musical soundtrack with a creative fun movie.

They may have been fun drive in brain candy but little more than that.
