Arguably the first great rock and roll movie, Richard Lester's A Hard Day's Night comes to DVD with this two-disc set from Disney/Buena Vista. The transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. The English soundtrack is impressively rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Supplemental materials include extensive interviews with many people involved with the production, although there is no new material featuring any of The Beatles. This is a solid release that should please the casual fan as well as hardcore Beatlemaniacs.

This movie is a must for any true Beatles fan! It is fun to see them in their first film and it gave those of us who were too young to be involed in Beatlemania a taste of what it was like. I enjoyed everything about this movie.
