The iconic Beatles film "A Hard Day's Night" was released on this day in history, Aug. 11, 1964, and would go on to win two Oscars. It captured Beatlemania and is considered a classic.
Time magazine called the film "one of the smoothest, freshest, funniest films ever made for purposes of exploitation." The film "A Hard Day's Night" received two Oscars during the 37th Academy Awards. "In 1984, ‘Hard Day’s Night’ director Richard Lester was given an award by MTV declaring him ‘the father of the music video.'" Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
It will mark its 60th anniversary in 2024.
"The musical presents a fictitious account of 36 hours in the life of the Beatles, who portray themselves as they travel to London and attempt to record a performance on television while evading fanatical teenage admirers," the same source noted.
