After the worldwide success of IA Hard Day's Night/I, the Beatles and director Richard Lester reunited for a follow-up film, IEight Arms to Hold You/I. Well, that wasn't the final title; a pleading Lennon-McCartney tune provided the catchier handle: iHelp!/i A loose semispoof of the globe-trotting James Bond pictures, IHelp!/I has always been considered a somewhat disorganized comedown from its predecessor; but it presents "the famous Beatles" even more clearly as the English cousins of the Marx Brothers. The plot has an Eastern religious cult declaring that the new ring on Ringo's finger is the key element in a human sacrifice; they will stop at nothing to obtain it. Meanwhile, a mad scientist (crazed Victor Spinetti, who also appeared in IA Hard Day's Night/I and IMagical Mystery Tour/I) believes that if he has the ring, he could--dare we say it?--rule the world. The songs, including "Ticket to Ride" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," are filmed with gleeful ingenuity, in locations such as the Bahamas, an Austrian ski resort, and the Salisbury Plain. The relentless nonsense becomes nearly the equivalent of a swinging-'60s IAlice in Wonderland/I: for instance, Paul shrinks to the size of a gum wrapper, John fishes a season ticket out of his soup, George wears a top hat on the ski slopes, the lads sing the "Ode to Joy" to a lion. Oh, and the film is dedicated to Elias Howe, "who in 1846 invented the sewing machine." Brilliant. I--Robert Horton/I

 awesome January 6, 2009
Product was in excellant condition and came really fast. It was a gift. My brother loved it!!!
 Here I stand head in hand--- January 4, 2009
Another con job of a Beatles film-to-dvd release--improperly CROPPED screen image! WHY are so many people obsessed with filling their wide screen TV's by cropping image area off of composed motion picture frames? Enough! This entices studios to fuk with presentation when released to home video. The BLACK BARS mean you get the ENTIRE image (i.e, MORE) that the director intended... "technology" has it's disadvantages
 GOOD DEAL FOR THE 19.99 I PAID FROM AMAZON BUT December 19, 2008
i got this i seen it for 19.99 and love the beatles but the packing its in looks super cheap not worth 150 or 250 like they sell in canada at stores but for 19.99 its ok but ever thing falls out looks like they got a kid to put it together even trying to take the dvds out to watch are a pain in the butt but the books cards and poster are kool but not worth theb big price wait till they drop it to 19.99 again
Gorgeous Film and Music (of course) November 19, 2008
I don't know why it took me so long to watch/purchase this movie. I am a Beatles freak and own every album and had seen Hard Day's Night, but until this reissue of Help! I just hadn't taken the time to check it out. But I have to say that I liked this movie MORE than Hard Day's Night. The gorgeous color and fun storyline were highly entertaining! This is my kind of movie. Quick little one liners, and funny little bits that if you blink you might miss them. Which also makes this film ideal for repeat viewing. The visuals are just outstanding, vibrant colors and great scenery! I highly recommend this film to even the most casual Beatle fan (if there is such a thing!!)
 Great Music! Bad Movie! October 30, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am a Beatles Fan enjoy listening to their music. However, this being said, I thought the movie, "Help!" wasn't very good. It was a combination music video of the The Beatles performing their various songs in different locations and a movie about a group of evil religious zealots trying to steal one of Ringo's rings.br /br /"Help!" is a really artsy film, where we see crazy, unrealistic antics happening repeatedly by all the cast members. The acting is bad in this film and the storyline is silly throughout. The music, costuming make-up are the only redeeming features in this film.
