A HARD DAY’S NIGHT Director: Richard LesterStarring: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Wilfrid Brambell, Norman Rossington This was originally written in 2014 as part of my Criterion Collection series.

They allow themselves to show the goofier sides of their personalities. Where else would youRead More →
