Help!

Posted on March 19, 2005August 24, 2018 by Village Vidiot

“Help!,” video, 19 March 2005.  B and I are trying to show oldies but goodies to our daughter (now age 10). This is the sillier and less interesting of the two Beatles films from about 1965. I remember laughing my ass off when I saw it the first time and the first hour is still very funny with Leo McKearn as a Thuggie priest in search of his sacrificial victim for Kaili, the Indian goddess. It’s all incredibly silly, borders on racist (ok, maybe it’s over the border) but it’s really funny and the music and set ups are good. “A Hard Days Night” is next and then the Marx Brothers movies.
