What a disappointment that Beatles '64 documentary ! It goes all over the place, and very little music and performances. The dvd The Beatles First US Visit is much better!
It could have been done better! Overall i did like it Picture quality and audio quality good but not enough live Beatles like Washington DC concert and Ed Sullivan show and Miami Beach TV show! And maybe better historian music people do some talking real Beatles and music experts it was lacking some real top notch production it needed more of Peter Jackson involvement Thanks
On par with the Ron Howard doc. Didn’t meet my expectations. Too many talking heads. Sounded good. I feel like they could’ve done more with the footage.
Reason for maiking Beatles '64? Apple re-released the U.S. Beatles albums from 1964 on vinyl recently. Even a box set. This documentary put those albums in context.
seems like this was done years ago on the beatles complete video, that is now out of print. i have an old vhs, and its the most comprehensive doc i've seen. even better than ron howards, which is really good. some good film bits we've never seen, but its not a 2 hour flick.
This movie, was suppose to be "meet the beatles", a TV documentary, sort of like a reality-promo show, to americans "follow on TV", the tour with the Beatles, at the end it didn´t work and they made the movie A Hard Days night, which was more ajust to the exact marketing image, the beatles team wanted to sell them, i´ve always thought that the "Dylan" marketing team thought on this documentary to make don´t look back, to sell Dylan to the world
Sorry but no, A Hard Day's Night was already in the works even before The Beatles landed in America. Alun Owen had already finished the script while the Fabs were in Paris in January 1964, so that has nothing to do with the Maysles brothers' footage
I have insight on the Elaine Kim situation .. yes it was a random find.. because my version was also gonna be used for a montage but only hers was used..

Very poor by the producers, not talking abt
Scorsese at all.
Sorry, Fab4.

Perhaps you're not aware of how important 1964 was in the Beatles' story here in the USA.

What could possibly live up to all this HYPE?
For starters the photo of the four bowing is a total fake
