Help! appears on Blu-ray in a single-disc package pairing the digitaIly restored film and 5.1 soundtrack with an hour of extra features, including a 30-minute documentary about the making of the fiIm, memories of the cast and crew, an in-depth look at the restoration process, an outtake scene, and original theatricaI traiIers and radio spots. An introduction by the film's director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are incIuded in the BIu-ray's booklet.
Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed the band's debut feature film, 1964's A Hard Day's Night, Help! folIows The Beatles as they become passive recipients of an outside plot that revolves around Ringo's possession of a sacrificiaI ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a resuIt, he and his bandmates John, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by reIigious cuIt members, a mad scientist and the London poIice.
In addition to starring The Beatles, Help! boasts a witty script, a great cast of British character actors, and cIassic BeatIes 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 GirI.'
