One of the things that impressed me about this film was how the actors playing the Beatles were able to precisely recreate their exact moves during the Ed Sullivan Show performance.
@@smarkmalark and hitting the symbols (ride and crash) when he wasn't supposed to.. but then again I guess they couldn't see the footage to be 100% accurate (also the drum roll at 1:11 is off by how many beats the drummer playing Ringo played, just stuff I notice as a drummer)
Near the end of song 2:12 approx. the real Ringo lowers his arms, the guy playing Ringo in the flick raises his. I always wondered why? Otherwise a pretty good job.
I noticed they batted their eyelashes at the wrong times and the shot where Ringo’s fingers weren’t right on the drumsticks. Also actor Paul looked down when he should have looked up and John’s legs weren’t bent at the right angle.
Honestly, great recreation, and unlike what's done today, very TASTEFUL. I love the shot where you can see Ringo on the screen, and his hand dips out of screen, and we can see it pop out from the side of the camera to hit the symbol that was out of frame in the broadcast. That just felt really nice.
I love how the filmakers strategically put the TV in front of John, Paul and George and the Camera in front of Ringo so that you would think the Beatles are actually there since there's no way you can see the actor's faces
Best movie about the Beatlemania era, they did an Australian version called "Secrets" in 1994 about Beatles fans stuck in the basement of an Australian hotel building where The Beatles stayed in Melbourne Australia, not as exciting as the American "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" but has some fine Australian actors in it.
0:40 My mother closely resembles the girl on the bottom. 1:45 And my aunt (my mother’s sister) closely resembles the girl behind the dark haired girl at the bottom as well.
Went to the movies to see this when it first came out.Steven Spielberg Directed the film or produced it.The red actress in the film is played by Paul Newman’s daughter by his first wife.
I remember when this was made reading the stand in actors for The Beatles were one of the bunks from Broadways Beatlemania. Not sure which bunk or guys that appeared. If anyone knows please reply.
It's a fictional comedy film about kids trying to get tickets for the Ed Sullivan Show and one kid being harassed for having long hair and being threatened to have his hair cut. Real Beatles footage was on the monitors while stand-ins were on stage. The girl at 0:31 went on to star in the 80s sit-com Busom Buddies with Tom Hanks.

Fun movie....saw them twice in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens. Best thrill in my 80 years!
I saw this in the theater. Those Ed scenes were very well done.
Despite the inaccuracies, great movie
On this day 2/9/64 the Beatles took the title of biggest music phenomenon ever and to this day have yet to relinquish it.
Well said! I agree!
Actual watched that 1978 movie, enjoyed it. Wonder what the Beatles thoughts about it this movie?
A great debut from Robert Zemeckis, definitely enjoyed it. ❤
Fun fact this was the first robert zemeckis (back to the future ) movie, producer by Spielberg
Fun movie. I have a copy on DVD that I pull out occasionally

Seems to me that the original audience wasn't that crazy they where sat down in comparison to 1978 version 🤔
Such a fun movie! I always wondered if any of The Beatles actually ever saw the movie, and, if so, what they thought of it.
Here before that copyright strike
@@pedroguedes3834 it was cleared already 😁
Why 1978?
year the movie was released
