I think that George unlike Paul was a natural actor and more comfortable when delivering his lines. He probably didn't take it too seriously that allowed him to enjoy his role. Dick Lester felt Paul tried too hard to act
How Great is George in this scene? Never took an acting lesson in his life. Bottom line -- each Beatle was so compelling on screen, the camera loved them. The films director said George was the best, acting wise and that whatever he was called upon to do he nailed it, like the shaving scene in the bathroom mirror. But this scene with the ad agency guy and the hot secretary is the best!
A Hard Day's Night is a 1964 musical comedy film starring the English rock band the Beatles-John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr-during the height of Beatlemania. It was originally released in the United States on August 11, 1964 by United Artists. The film was a financial and critical success and was nominated for two Academy Awards including Best Original Screenplay. Forty years after its release, Time magazine rated it as one of the 100 all-time great films.
How I would have ended this scene: Simon makes a comment about booking the Beatles. Adrian says he doubts Simon can book them. When Simon asks why he doesn't think he can, Adrian replies with "If you treated me like you just treated their lead guitar player, I wouldn't work for you."
The Citizen Kane of rock n roll films... Btw, "she's a trend setter. It's her profession." And almost 60 years later, it goes on. I believe the online term is "influencer," no? Downright prophetic.
Not prophetic, it's just that we are more aware of it now, but it was always like this. People with products using a beautiful young person to sell their grotesque merch
@@VixxKong2 You might have a point but there is one thing. Most people in pop culture who set trends were based in some sort of art form. Boys dressed and wore their hair like The Beatles or other rock stars because they wanted, to some degree, to emulate their talent and appeal. Influencers aren't entertainers. The Kardashians (today's best examples) are famous for being famous. They don't sing, dance or act. Just like the "posh bird" in this scene. The Beatles' initial job was to write music and sing. Influencers have no such talent nor are they actually required to!
@@arkady714 Bro let's be honest. Does it really matter that you have talent or not in order to become an influencer? All these tiktok, Instagram, reality tv, RUclipsr, etc.
The actor Kenneth Haigh was worried that appearing in this film would impact on his ability to get further roles! The actor playing Haigh's assistant Adrian was Julian Holloway, son of Stanley, who appeared in the film My Fair Lady and The Lavender Hill Mob.
The first time I saw this, when the girl said, "I've got one," I thought she meant, "I've got one of the Beatles." I didn't realize they didn't know who George was until the guy said, "You don't have to do the old adenoidal glottal-stopping carryon for our benefit." Never picked up that Adrian was trying to tell them "that's George Harrison" until just now.
Simon claims to have his finger on the pulse of British youth, but doesn't even recognize the guitar player of the biggest band in the world at the time...
@divcvetic772 And in the 80s, he wrote a song called The Devil's Radio. These days the devil's radio is the internet. If only George was here to see how it is.
"Pimply hyperboles"...I'm beginning to be at an age where I must remember that one. It could come in very handy. (Of course I would have used it every day as a teenager as well... 😂)
Barely looked at the shirts two seconds and shoved them away. Not even allowing us viewers to see what was wrong with the shirts - which looked pretty basic to me
George .... She's a drag a well known drag .... we say rude things about her ... did I say something amiss? Sorry about the shirts... I love George forever and I miss him 😢
IMHO the cutest bit is when the guy says “That’s what you’ll want,” George says “I won’t “, and the guy says “You can be replaced.” Even at this point, George cannot be replaced and he knows it. Which only goes to show that the agent here doesn’t know anything like as much about teenagers as he thinks he does. 😉
Every one of The Lads got a solo section. Paul’s got cut, and ended up on the editing floor. I guess they figured Granddad McCartney gave Paul enough extra attention. (I disagree.) Be that as it may, my opinion is that George had the best section by far!! We never heard George talk much until AHDN. We found out he’s witty, he has perfect ‘deadpan humor’ and if he had been a tad more polite he could have had a career doing commercials with Susan. “And who’s this Susan when she’s a’home?” My favorite section in the film.
Pauls solo section was cut because Dick Lester felt he just couldn't get a natural enough performance out if him away from the others, Lester felt he just tried too hard whilst the other 3 nailed theirs effortlessly
Someone wrote this scene especially for him. The guy who wrote it said, "George is not the quiet one, he was the one who cut the crap and went straight to the point, yeah he was the sensible one".
The truly bizarre thing is that that scene was happening in real life with those kind of people trying to copy that hair style and those clothes that the Beatles had made famous.
![The Beatles - Hard Days Night - Train Scene [HD]](/img/1.gif)
I can't help but giggle at George's face when he's checking out the secretarian's legs. 🤣
She best watch it; he’s checkin’ her out😏
Lol I did to
I think he's more about the feet.
@@phishbill For some reason, I feel as if that wouldn't surprise me.
Secretarian? You mean secretary?
So precious, this scene. My fave. Best line: "Oh yes by all means I'd be prepared for that eventuality."
"quite prepared" 😊
One
Hun
Dred
Followed closely by "you don’t see many of these nowadays do you" and "well I’ll have a bash" and the best one "who’s this Susan when she’s at home?"
My favorite line’s gotta be “We turn the sound down on her and say rude things.”
@@redpillhope"can you handle lines ? well i'll have a bash" err George, not that sort of lines...
Best scene in the movie! George's accent is just the cutest!
I think George had the most pronounced Liverpool accent!
Really?
@@serendavies7375 Yes. His accent is the most 'Scouse' of the four. And he'd lay it on thick as well.
Yes but note that in the final years of his life his Scouse accent was gone and he spoke the Queen's English.
John's Aunt Mimi didn't like George because of his 'common' accent.
Mark Copsey That’s harsh.
It always seems to be George's voice that people copy when they do impressions on the Beatles.
And Paul's - der ya know what I mean!
That "I don't care" was just perfect 🤣😂
"She is a drag, a well known drag, we turn the sound down on her and say rude things". This one and Lennon in the bathtub scene are great.
I can’t read it, and NOT hear George’s voice😂🔥
Also when John meets the random woman in the corridor and they have a conversation about precisely nothing.
I like 'ah yer won't interfere with the basic rugged concept of my personality will yer madam!
George Harrison look like he can say something that will make you feel like he has nothing to do with you

@@joeoconnor5400 Paul was definitely the weak link. John, George and Ringo were just fine. Paul didn't know about letting the camera do the work.
George has the cutest accent :D
I love his voice ❤
"...who's this Susan when she's at home?" Lol! Priceless!!
g was here it’s kind of an expression like “who does she think she is?”, sort of milder than that though.
@@gwashere3488 exactly
2:56 I searched up that line, and now I'm here. I love my life.
I love this movie, undoubtably 1 of my favourite scenes. George is a legend!
they had real actors alongside the beatles-they did remarkedly well
The real actors, or the Beatles? ;)
“I’ll ave a bash”
We miss you George. 😢 You're my dad's favorite beatle. 😘
My mother loves him too!
Maybe my favorite scene in the movie so perfectly done.
That guy was a pop culture expert but he didn’t know who George Harrison was. But Adrian did.
I never thought that the other guy might know who he is.
Well done Adrian!!!
"Don't breathe on me, Adrian".
This is supposed to be a hip ad agency. And yet, no one (with the exception of Adrian), knew that 1/4 of the Beatles, had just entered their office.
Trouble maker .
0:57 You can actually see Adrian the assistant saying George Harrison, why didn't the guy listen?
agenttheater5 well spotted! I never noticed that before! Hahaha now this makes much more sense. Thanks.
I don’t see it ! Where is it??
@@carolfreitag6847 at 0:57... If you read Adrian's lips, he's mouthing "That's George Harrison."
Because Adrian was breathing too hard apparently, so the producer didn't listen
because the man, like most of marketing experts, has his head completely stuck in his ass
3 minutes and George rattles off like 4 or 5 (or more!)of my favorite quotes from the movie!
How Great is George in this scene? Never took an acting lesson in his life. Bottom line -- each Beatle was so compelling on screen, the camera loved them. The films director said George was the best, acting wise and that whatever he was called upon to do he nailed it, like the shaving scene in the bathroom mirror.

" Make a note not to extend Susan's contract." What a swine he is.
Nope. Just typical of the industry. :)
Ston's icon is Spock's wife's lover's face from the original Star Trek series episode "Amok Time".
Cool!
For someone who claims to have his finger on the pulse of British youth, he's extremely clueless...
Well if he knows that she's not representing his clientele now why should he keep her?

“Don’t breathe on me, Adrian..”This scene is cinematic perfection
George is just the cutest here.❤❤❤
my favorite scene in the whole movie!!!!!!
*SHE'S A DRAG*
*WE TURN DOWN THE VOLUME ON HER AND SAY RUDE THINGS.*
George was the best actor in the Beatles.
John was good too, but yeah, George will always be my favourite.
So said Dick Lester
Richard Lester has said that he thought George was the best actor, too.
💖💖 George💖💖😍😍 luv that man
Get him out? A Beatle? You want a Beatle to leave?
My fav was when ringo was sad and got arested

You can be replaced chicky baby
George: I don't care.
LOL
And he really didn't care! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:00 Have I said something amiss? LOL
yup-George and the boys were the new direction! And make a note not to extend Susan's contract. Hm..?
In an all-around hilarious and wonderful movie, George manages to steal the show.
I used to have this movie on VHS
George Harrison makes me giggle!
GEORGE THE BEST!!

George Harrison vs. Early Social Media Influencers!
George Harrison was an early media influencer.

George was a supermodel. He had the handsome face, the height, the physique, and bone structure. I always thought he looked like a model.
*don’t breathe on me Adrian*
*dont* breathe on me Adrian
Good Lord! So that's where grotty comes from. I've wondered vaguely about it when I heard it for 40 percent of a century now!

why geogre is my favorate
I had always loved the Beatles but once i watched this movie, i realized i had a favorite Beatle and his name was George 💖

I fell madly in love with George when I saw this movie in the mid 1990s.
I never realized that Adrian was saying "That's George Harrison"...
Don't breath on me Adrian.
George .... She's a drag a well known drag .... we say rude things about her ... did I say something amiss? Sorry about the shirts...
I love George forever and I miss him 😢
Such a handsome young man ☺
Gorgeous George. So good looking.
"i'll have a bash".way cool.That and "she's a drag,a well know drag".Cool.
I didn't stay at a holiday Inn last night, but those were a fine pair of legs, 1964 style
grotty = grotesque
IMHO the cutest bit is when the guy says “That’s what you’ll want,” George says “I won’t “, and the guy says “You can be replaced.” Even at this point, George cannot be replaced and he knows it. Which only goes to show that the agent here doesn’t know anything like as much about teenagers as he thinks he does. 😉
He obviously knows absolutely zero about what teenagers want if he doesn’t recognise a Beatle. That was the jokey premise of the scene
He doesn't relize he has the beatles on the wall in his office
I looked but couldn’t see one.
Harrison didn't go for that 'plastic manufactured bullshit' did he? which is so telling about today's pop culture!
"she's a drag! a well known drag!"
"well, at least he's polite" lol
"have I said something re-missed?" lol
"We turn the sound down on her and say rude things". Thats such as 60s thing to say.

A later scene implies that George gets laid.
