Help




This clip comes from the film Help! directed by Richard Lester. It is often called the first pop video

The Beatles were never entirely comfortable with their 'good boy' image. They also found it very difficult to live normal lives. Lennon later complained he 'was living a lie'. This included concealing his wife, Cynthia, from the public eye.

In the public imagination, The Beatles were like their characters in
Help. In the film they live in a single terraced house with four front doors.
