TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

John Lennon's written answer to the female reporter asking him if he has any hobbies is the word "tits."

During the opening sequence of the group running, George stumbles and falls, with Ringo falling over him in turn. This wasn't intended and George ripped the suit he was wearing, but he quickly recovered, laughed, and continued running, it was decided to retain the shot in the movie.

After filming for the day on April 1, 1964, John Lennon had met his father, Alfred Lennon, for the first time in 17 years. In the morning, Alf had walked into NEMS Enterprises (where The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein worked) accompanied by a journalist. After explaining to the receptionist that he was John's father, and when Epstein was informed, he immediately sent for a car to pick up John, the rest of The Beatles with the exception of Sir Paul McCartney tagging along, bringing them over to NEMS. The meeting was unsuccessful, however; the first words John said to his father were, "What do you want?" The meeting lasted no longer than 20 minutes, and ended up with a furious John ordering Alf off the premises. The encounter was kept out of newspapers by trading with the journalist for exclusive stories about the other bands Epstein managed.

The title track was written entirely in one sitting by John Lennon on the night of April 13, 1964, which was also the same day he had filmed the iconic bathtub scene. After Sir Ringo Starr had coined the phrase, John and Sir Paul McCartney had basically raced to see who would come up with a song for the phrase and movie title first.

The tyre over which Sir Ringo Starr trips in the scene at the river bank had to be thrown again and again, as it kept rolling incorrectly. Finally, after numerous wasted takes, it was offered to young actor David Janson, on hand to play the young boy Ringo meets. Janson rolled the tyre correctly on the first try.

Popular Dialogues

"George: That's not your grandfather! Paul: It is, you know. George: But I've seen your grandfather! He lives in your house! Paul: Oh, that's my other grandfather, but he's my grandfather, as well. John: How do you reckon that one out? Paul: Well, everyone's entitled to two, aren't they?"

"Reporter: Are you a mod or a rocker? Ringo: Um, no. I'm a mocker."
