Beatles’ ‘Help!’ Expanded For New DVD
The Beatles’ second film, 1965’s “Help!,” will be released in a double-DVD edition Oct. 30 via Apple Corps Ltd and EMI Music. The movie was released in DVD in 1997 and again in 2000, but has been off the market ever since due to rights issues.
In “Help!,” drummer Ringo Starr comes into possession of a cursed ring, which he cannot remove, prompting adventures in London, the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas.
The first disc of “Help!” boasts a digitally restored version of the film plus a new 5.1 audio soundtrack, with songs like “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away,” “Ticket To Ride,” “The Night Before,” “Another Girl” and “You’re Going To Lose That Girl.”
Disc two offers a 30-minute documentary about the making of the movie, a missing scene, a featurette on the restoration process, interviews with cast and crew, three theatrical trailers and vintage radio advertisements.
“Help!” will also be available in a boxed set with a reproduction of director Richard Lester’s original script and a 60-page book with rare photos and production notes.
