I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978)

       This comedy film was released in 1978, but it takes place in 1964, just the time when The Beatles’ career was at its greatest. Filled with comedy and good music, this film is something you shouldn´t miss if you´re a Beatles’ fan. 

            The story is about four girls and 2 guys from New Jersey who decide to go watch the Ed Sullivan show live because the Beatles are coming. Each one of them has a different reason to go.

Rosie is a great fan of Paul McCartney and she wants to meet him in person. Grace is convinced that she could get a lot of money if she takes exclusive pictures from The Beatles. Pam goes against her will (she´s getting married the day after the show and will run away without her mother´s permission) even though she secretly loves The Beatles. Janis thinks that this famous band “undermines artistic integrity” and she decides to go to protest about their music. Larry is the guy who gets the car from his dad´s business (undertaker). Tony joins them in the last minute because he wanted to hang out with Janis. 

            The movie shows all the situations these guys went through to get to the show; it was not as easy as many may think. Will they be lucky enough? Find out what happens watching I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
