@Dawn E on ear? I read music, but I often listen to music and copy the music by hearing it as well. Most people can, if they really try, nothing magic. Just a set of good ears and enough training. Then you memorise it. From then on you play it straight from memory. At that point there's no difference anymore by having read/learned the music from sheet or figuring out what to play by ear! So... remember: no magic at all. Just: good ears and enough training.
This sequence was filmed in Ailsa Avenue. About 8 years ago I took some Beatles fans friends along there for a visit. While we were there a lady came out and chatted to us about the day the Beatles came there to film. She said hordes of school kids were roped off and stopped from mobbing the Beatles. But of course you would never know this from watching the film. Also Paul McCartney shook the hand of her young son, when he saw him. When the boy went to school the next day all the kids wanted to touch his hand because Paul had touched it. Leo Mackern wore a false drain hole cover on his head because a real one would be way too heavy. Before they started filming, some one from the film crew ask the house owners to keep indoors so as not to spoil the filming. And the houses interiors had black out curtains up to stop light escaping from inside the houses, spoiling the filming. Some of the elderly house owners complained about the disruption of filming because they had never heard of the Beatles and couldn't understand what the fuss was all about.
One of my Aunts met them where she worked at Teddington Studios. Another Aunt stopped at traffic lights and noticed John and Ringo also stopped in the car abreast.
I was brought up and raised in the adjacent road Gordon Avenue (both roads shaped in in a U)my Mum and Dad watched them film it and were given a copy of the record (I still have it today) they bought two houses and knocked them into one The crowds around Twickenham film studio in St Margaret’s we’re mobbed out everyday there are pictures showing this,the houses down Ailsa and Gordon are now worth over a million quid and I would take a bet that the current owners of the two houses at the top of Ailsa could get a few quid more than that if they were mine I’d be sticking some sort of plaque on the houses

I lived in Ailsa Avenue for about 6 months in 1976, my local pub was the Ailsa Tavern. A girl who worked in my office in St Margaret's Road was one of those school kids watching the filming from a distance. A memory she very much cherishes. 😊

I was 8 years old in 1996 and I was totally into the Beatles after I saw The Anthology documentary with my parents...I remember the movie passed at PBS at midnight (public americain television ) during holidays...I just convince my parents to record the movie on VHS and let me watch it live that night...They accept and believe that I will fall asleep on the movie...My father woke me up 15 minutes before midnight to watch it and I look It completely until 1:30 AM alone...Still found it cool that watching Help ! was my first sleepless night of my life (or kind of...). Moreover, I didn't understant a single word in englsih at the time, cause i'm french...but the child in me was just fascinated to see my idols in a movie and playing some songs in a funny comedy, I didn't understand a shit except the fact that everybody wanted Ringo's ring. Still and always be one of the most iconic movie of my life forever ! I watch it so many times the days after...25 years after I still remember every scene of the movie like yesterday and It's always a pleasure to watch it again.
Paul plays a 1930s organ which originally would have been in a movie theater. In those years, organs like this really were on platforms which were raised up from under the floor. They would be played as part of the show, before the movie started. Adults in 1966 would've remembered such things, but kids (like me) had no idea what the history was. I did like this part a lot, though. In fact this entire set seemed incredibly clever to me when the film was new.
I saw this in the theatre when it first came out. When Paul shrank and he was behind his own shoe, and reached out to grab the gum wrapper, somebody in the audience yelled, "I saw his ass!"
Watching this for the umpteenth time I finally realized today that the song Paul is playing on the organ is "Please Please Me." If you start singing "Last night I said these words..." as soon as he starts playing, you'll hear it too.
it's actually "being for the benefit of mr. kite" from sgt. pepper's...it's freakin' weird 'cause this movie was filmed two years erlier than the recording of sgt. pepper's
@Prime Productionz Michelle was a song that Paul used to sing pretendin' to speak french when he was a young boy....and Lennon told Paul to record that song for the rubber soul sessions, that's why he included those verses in french... it also happens with led zeppelin...how many more times, included on their debut album, was inspired on the riff of Tick Tock, by les fleur de lys, in which jimmy page played guitar as a session guitarist.....two or theree years earlier...
+Jetson White You're right-I had never noticed that before, thanks! It doesn't sound like it at first but when Ringo's at the sandwich vending machine, it becomes clearer as you can hear the same chord progression of the chorus of 'Please, Please Me'. You've got a great ear!
.....it’s not mr kite, doesn’t sound anything like it. That song was all John’s, made up when he bought the poster. It’s indeed a stylized please please me.
It was because they were the best actors of the four. Paul and George were just « okay ». John was good and Ringo was very good. That’s why (even in Hard Day’s Night in facts) John and Ringo are way more "present". It’s pretty cool I think, knowing that they were the less liked Beatles in UK at this time :,) (rip). Anyway, that’s why :D
@@romans52345-cy3tq John and Ringo (sorry boys). In UK it was 1)Paul 2)George 3)John 4)Ringo. In USA it was 1)Ringo (yes) 2)Paul 3)George and 4)John. Im talking about the 60s and the early years of the band (beatlemania y’know). So i find it cool if John and Ringo are more present in the movies :D
The guy that made Band On The Run The guy that made Imagine The guy that made My Sweet Lord The guy that made Photograph The best band in the history and four of the greatest musicians in the history.
This was filmed in Ailsa Avenue Twickenham. I was there a few years back talking to one of the neighbours there. Nice lady talking about the day the Beatles were in her road filming.
Notice what he's playing? It's the intro to Being for the Benifit of Mr.Kite !!! Go ahead watch and listen again! This is 2 years before SPLHCB! It's uncanny!!
1:35 Paul didn't smile at Ringo's misfortune. I saw him smile at the organ from the original motion picture soundtrack album version of "Help!" that my brother used to own that album long time ago.
Some blast the film. Fine. But as a kid, Help won out over A Hard Days Night, which was heavy with the difficult English accents, and black and white. In an era of Batman, The Munsters, Lost in Space, The Monkeys, and other comic like productions, Help was right up front. As a 10 year old, I was total blown away, as in Off The Hook!, when I saw the film on the big screen. It was a fun film, so lighten up, and stop being such a serious 'grown up'. Reconnect with your young, positive, happy, inner child, and move away from all the shit many adults live with!
PacificCircle1 Help's plot is pretty ropey to say the least, but unlike most of the rest of their films, there is one. I suppose Let It Be had some drama in it, although it was a "fly on the wall" documentary rather than a fiction.
PacificCircle1 I know exactly what you mean. While I now prefer Hard Day's Night, when I was little there was just something so incredibly magical about those four doors opening up into one psychedelic wonderland apartment. I guess we'll just have to bring things down to our level and keep on loving Help!
can't stop laughing from the time they showed the layout of the house as the boys entered their doors XD the individual scenes were well thought out it was hilarious XD I wish to watch this as well as Hard Days Night
I think there was one famous band of the time that actually lived together like this. The Small Faces all were headquartered in a house for the four of them. Wonder where they got the idea!
@@ryanm1732 just because it came out 2 years after doesn't mean they didn't already have a melody they liked and maybe had no use for it yet or hadn't come up with words
It’s a stylized version of please please me. There’s not a chord nor chord progression that matches mr kite there. You’re just hearing a rhythmic organ, which also appears on mr kite.
It reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School, when Rodney, his son, and his son's friend all walk through 3 different doors and find they're all in one big apartment.
Gretchen Franklin (the little old lady in the light coat) was in her early 50s when this was filmed. Twenty years later, she played a little old lady (Ethel Skinner) in Eastenders.
No. "A Spaniard in the Works" 1965. In Brit talk, a spanner is a wrench, so a riff on a monkey wrench in the works. Think about it- this book was nothing if not absurd and ironic. This came out the year before John met the avant-gard absurdist performance artist Yoko Ono. Now the attraction makes more sense; two individuals with similar approaches to life and perception; i.e., suurealism. Not everyone's cup of tea, however. I still have Yoko's book "Grapefruit", 1964; a series of "instructions".
When I was younger, I thought it was a DVD of a dirty movie which is silly because DVDs didn't exist in 1965. I did some research when I found out John wrote two books to find out he's reading his own book. I have both "In his own write" and "a spaniard in the works" in my book collection.
I haven't seen the film yet, only a couple of clips of it. But wow! I wasn't expecting them to live in one house, not to mention, the house looks cool here too!

@@thebeatleboi it doesn't sound similar, it sounds the same....put it in another key, it still sounds the same....let's say mr kite was inspired by please please me....neverthless, the chords paul is playin' here are more similar to mr kite than they are to please please me...let's say both songs are related, all right.....same the intro to strawberry fields, which might have been inspired by the intro to michelle.....that happens all the time.....led zeppelin's "how many more times" brings the same riff that page played as a session guitarist for les fleur de lys in the song tick tock ....isn't the intro riff to hey bulldog kinda similar to the piano riff to money (that's what i want) that the beatles covered in "with the beatles album"????...the point is that when i listen to mccartney playin' these chord progression, mr kite does suddenly come to my mind.....
When John gets his book out of the middIe of another book, it reminds me of my friend Cynthia (yeah, her real name, and her hair was the same color as Jane Asher's) doing just that. Her mother didn't Iike the Beatles, and wouIdn't aIIow Cynthia to have John's book, so Cynthia hoIIowed out the middIe of a bigger book, hid John's book inside it, and kept it on her bookshelf.
The four doors are to Apartments 5, 7, 9, and 11, Ailsa Avenue, Twickenham, UK. This location can be found today via Google Earth and the white and green doors on units 9 and are still white and green. Interestingly, they seem to have no significance as historical sites.
The scene was filmed on this day at Ailsa Avenue in Twickenham, England. The street was located near to Twickenham Film Studios, where the bulk of the film was made. Ringo Starr entered number five, John Lennon went into number seven, Paul McCartney number nine and George Harrison number 11.
12 Losers. One of my best movies! And to think they improvised and thought of such idea based by and from Lord of the Rings which they original were actually thinking of doing at first! What a class act they were and this film....
1:41 John chides Ringo to "stop trying to drag things down to your own level. It's immature, son." Meanwhile, John is surrounded by several copies of his own book.
Yes, and I found out only yesterday that a mate of mine now lives in that very street. His wife said as a kid seeing the movie that she thought those houses were cool, and only found that she had moved into that very road afterwards.
What an absurdly cool house hahahaha. This is just waiting for a rebuild on The Sims... (I actually already have the Beatles on ten sims, all living together on a ship and separately John and Yoko in a comfy small mansion), I had rebuilt this few years back but then deleted again. Gotta re-do this.
i saw this movie when i was young and i really thought that they lived together like this

I was 14 in 1995 and asked my father to rent this. He thought I was nuts
Stones fan, was he?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Bcuz you needed *help* 😌
kj yet you’re watching it online
I think he is nuts
I think there was one famous band of the time that actually lived together like this. The Small Faces all were headquartered in a house for the four of them. Wonder where they got the idea!
When i was a kid i used to think this was where they really leaved...
I really wanna have a house like them when i was little. Especially that underfloor bed lol
Sounds like Paul is playing Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite on that instrument
This was two years before Mr. Kite came out.
It does sound similar though.
@@ryanm1732 just because it came out 2 years after doesn't mean they didn't already have a melody they liked and maybe had no use for it yet or hadn't come up with words
It’s a stylized version of please please me. There’s not a chord nor chord progression that matches mr kite there. You’re just hearing a rhythmic organ, which also appears on mr kite.
@@BeggarsNightI had to listen to this like 8 times before I could hear Please Please Me 😂
I love their home. 💖💖💖
It reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School, when Rodney, his son, and his son's friend all walk through 3 different doors and find they're all in one big apartment.
Gretchen Franklin (the little old lady in the light coat) was in her early 50s when this was filmed. Twenty years later, she played a little old lady (Ethel Skinner) in Eastenders.
This would be such an awesome apartment! 😂
But you need update it with 21st Century gadgets & technology too.
Music
Probably my favourite Beatles movie!
Love this scene which eventually leads into John singing You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away.
Nope, different scene.
I like how John's reading several copies of his book, A Spaniard in the Works.
This whole movie is just John, Paul, And George bullying Ringo for 3 hours.
John Lennon always liked Ringo Starr and so why would he bully him
In real life anyway, John Lennon always held a strong friendship with Ringo Starr, even after the Beatles broke up in 1970
„Shut up Ringo“
Pauls face at 1:34 is priceless
The face of the real James Paul McCartney (1942-1966).
To this day, I want one of John's reading pits/bed. That looks so cozy to me.
PAUL...........!!!
SO SWEEEEEEEEEEET! I Love you, Paul!
I love Johnny boy he has a lot of book I want to marry him
I want a house like theirs in this film.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if they did live like this
That judgmental look on Paul's face at 1:35 is frikkin hilarious!
am I the only one to realize John grabbed his own book
Nope
No. "A Spaniard in the Works" 1965. In Brit talk, a spanner is a wrench, so a riff on a monkey wrench in the works. Think about it- this book was nothing if not absurd and ironic. This came out the year before John met the avant-gard absurdist performance artist Yoko Ono. Now the attraction makes more sense; two individuals with similar approaches to life and perception; i.e., suurealism. Not everyone's cup of tea, however. I still have Yoko's book "Grapefruit", 1964; a series of "instructions".
When I was younger, I thought it was a DVD of a dirty movie which is silly because DVDs didn't exist in 1965. I did some research when I found out John wrote two books to find out he's reading his own book. I have both "In his own write" and "a spaniard in the works" in my book collection.
and still the same as they was..before they was... love the music on Paul's piano!
This is an excellent film. Pure joy.
True
Love this scene. ❤️😎
JUST UPLOAD THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!!
He can't
Plus it will get taken down fast by UA-cam
Why don't you do the simple thing and buy it off if amazon?
You don't want to grapple with Apple. They'll take a crapple all over your dapple.
Trying to get terminated?
Just realized Johns reading his own book.
"And still the same as they was before they was" lmao🤣
John Lennon is the actual author of the book he was kissing "A Spaniard in the Works".
I haven't seen the film yet, only a couple of clips of it. But wow! I wasn't expecting them to live in one house, not to mention, the house looks cool here too!
Pretty sure it's fiction however.
@@Urlocallordandsavior Yeah, I know the whole house and the film are fiction.
have you seen the movie yet?
@@archangelmusic13 I have already months ago. It was pretty good.
@@ninarances9074 i thought it was ok.they are making a movie of the beatles career, but it doesnt come out till 2026.it is being directed by 2 directors.
I’ve always wanted a full version of the song Paul is playing
As ‘Jetson White’ pointed out in an earlier comment, he’s playing Please Please Me
@@thebeatleboi well...i guess y'all know he's playin' bein' for the benefit of mr kite, don't you????.....that was recorded about three years after for the sgt pepper's album......
@@thebeatleboi but the chords to it were played in this scene......couldn't you notice????......pay attention and you'll get it......
@@thebeatleboi it doesn't sound similar, it sounds the same....put it in another key, it still sounds the same....let's say mr kite was inspired by please please me....neverthless, the chords paul is playin' here are more similar to mr kite than they are to please please me...let's say both songs are related, all right.....same the intro to strawberry fields, which might have been inspired by the intro to michelle.....that happens all the time.....led zeppelin's "how many more times" brings the same riff that page played as a session guitarist for les fleur de lys in the song tick tock ....isn't the intro riff to hey bulldog kinda similar to the piano riff to money (that's what i want) that the beatles covered in "with the beatles album"????...the point is that when i listen to mccartney playin' these chord progression, mr kite does suddenly come to my mind.....
@@οτρόποςπουείμαι Bullshit. All bullshit.
When John gets his book out of the middIe of another book, it reminds me of my friend Cynthia (yeah, her real name, and her hair was the same color as Jane Asher's) doing just that. Her mother didn't Iike the Beatles, and wouIdn't aIIow Cynthia to have John's book, so Cynthia hoIIowed out the middIe of a bigger book, hid John's book inside it, and kept it on her bookshelf.
I’m just gonna say it, John is the definition of extra🤣🤣
The four doors are to Apartments 5, 7, 9, and 11, Ailsa Avenue, Twickenham, UK. This location can be found today via Google Earth and the white and green doors on units 9 and are still white and green. Interestingly, they seem to have no significance as historical sites.
“I thought she was a sandwich! Until she went spare on me hand.”
I love them so much❤😍
It’s like a dream, you know how dreams are...
Thanks, the clip is so good I put the DVD on, wonderful way to spend an early saturday morning.
The scene was filmed on this day at Ailsa Avenue in Twickenham, England. The street was located near to Twickenham Film Studios, where the bulk of the film was made. Ringo Starr entered number five, John Lennon went into number seven, Paul McCartney number nine and George Harrison number 11.
my favorite movie 😇 😇
Tiffany Porchiazzo Awwe That's Good Sweetheart 😊😊😘😊😍 And How Are You Doing Today Beautiful
12 Losers. One of my best movies! And to think they improvised and thought of such idea based by and from Lord of the Rings which they original were actually thinking of doing at first! What a class act they were and this film....
Notice the one who keeps waving longer than the others. “A sweet boy, same as he was before they was.”
1:41 John chides Ringo to "stop trying to drag things down to your own level. It's immature, son." Meanwhile, John is surrounded by several copies of his own book.
Love the comic books on Pauls music stand.
I’d love to have a rotating bookshelf like Johns
It came as a great disappointment to me, years later, to learn that the interior scene was shot in a studio.
why?
+Blair Lipscomb I think because it would be awesome if they really were living there :3
True
Paul Armstrong Twickenham Studios
Yes, and I found out only yesterday that a mate of mine now lives in that very street. His wife said as a kid seeing the movie that she thought those houses were cool, and only found that she had moved into that very road afterwards.
I WANT JOHN'S BED AND PAUL'S PIANO!!!!
It's not a piano, it's an ORGAN.
Clearly they were satirizing how people thought they lived. Doing everything together. Hysterical
When I was a kid I saw this movie and always wanted a house like that same with Yellow Submarine
My favourite seen in help.
Shame they did not make lots of movies, they were good actors
Thats an awesome house! Very cool. I love the pit John has!
What an absurdly cool house hahahaha. This is just waiting for a rebuild on The Sims... (I actually already have the Beatles on ten sims, all living together on a ship and separately John and Yoko in a comfy small mansion), I had rebuilt this few years back but then deleted again. Gotta re-do this.
Salesman: So gentlemen, what kind of house do you have in mind?
The guys: Yes
I love this movie😍
Excellent film! Know the script off by heart, same as hard days night and yellow submarine
People say A Hard Days Night was the insperation for the Monkees,but I suspect it was Help,in large part because of this scene.
Paul's expression at 1:35 was so funny!
Pure contempt, with a hint of James Bond.
