In 1964, The Beatles had just exploded onto the American Scene with their debut on the "Ed Sullivan Show." The group's first feature film, 'A Hard Day's Night', offered their fans a peek into a day in the life of the Fab Four and it helped to establish The Beatles on the silver screen, as well as inspire the music video format that has become a standard for all musical artists today.
