An introduction by the film’s director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are included in the Blu-ray’s booklet.brbrDirected by Richard Lester, who also directed the band’s debut feature film, 1964’s A Hard Day’s Night, Help! follows The Beatles as they become passive recipients of an outside plot that revolves around Ringo’s possession of a sacrificial ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a result, he and his bandmates John, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by religious cult members, a mad scientist and the London police.brbrIn addition to starring The Beatles, Help! boasts a witty script, a great cast of British character actors, and classic Beatles songs ‘Help!,’ ‘You’re Going To Lose That Girl,’ ‘You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away,’ ‘Ticket To Ride,’ ‘I Need You,’ ‘The Night Before,’ and ‘Another Girl.’brbr
