Albert and David Maysles' 1964 documentary of The Beatles' first trip to the United States, just as Beatlemania was poised to take over the world is a moment in time. Unfamiliar with who The Beatles were at the time, the Maysles happened to be at the right place to capture the time of The Beatles as their popularity began to surge to its peak, and to catch them in sometimes unguarded moments in their hotel, in a car, and on the train to their first concert appearance in Washington, D.C. This is the doc that presaged their own landmark film, "A Hard Day's Night" later the same year, except this is the real thing! Originally released as "What's Happening! The Beatles in USA", this updated release includes their live performances on the Ed Sullivan Show and from their Washington D.C. concert. The Maysles would go on to document such eye-opening events as the Rolling Stones '69 tour in "Gimme Shelter", climaxing in the tragic Altamont Festival, and such intimate portraits as Edith and Edie Beale in their crumbling East Hampton mansion known as "Grey Gardens". Truly a landmark film! Don't miss it!Read full review
