The Beatles: Eight Days a Week—The Touring Years

Working with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon, and Olivia Harrison, Ron Howard created this fascinating behind-the- scenes documentary look at the early years of The Beatles (1962–66). Endlessly entertaining, Eight Days A Week features great personal Beatles memories from not only Paul and Ringo, but Elvis Costello, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Izzard, Sigourney Weaver, and Richard Lester, as well as rare and never-before-seen footage of the Fab Four.

"Ron Howard's documentary rightly keeps coming back to the music and the band's delight in making it. Good move. It truly is a joy forever."
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"What makes the film magical is the sheer richness of the archive material and the pace at which it has been edited. The documentary never feels like an exercise in nostalgia."
Geoffrey Macnab, Independent (UK)

This film is part of the Ron Howard Retrospective series.
