LITTLE THEATRE SCREENS REMASTERED A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
The Western Film Society will present the remastered Beatles film A
Hard Day's Night at the Little Theatre, Friday, April 6 and Saturday,
April 7 at 7:00pm and 9:30pm and on Sunday, April 8 at 2:30pm and 5:00pm.
You Can Count On Me, the previously announced April selection, has been
cancelled in favor of A Hard Day’s Night, a film not already in
Kalamazoo theatres. Written by Alun Owen and Directed by Richard Lester,
this black and white 1964 film marks the feature film debut of the Beatles:
Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Nominated
for two Academy Awards, this film takes place at the height of Beatlemania
and follows a day in the life of the popular British group. Widely recognized
as one of the greatest rock-and-roll comedy adventures ever, A Hard
Day’s Night is full of Beatles hits like “A Hard Day’s
Night,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “She Loves You,”
and many more. A Hard Day’s Night is a favorite with critics and
fans alike. Critic Roger Ebert cites the film as “One of the great
life-affirming landmarks of the movies,” while Salon.com calls
it, “An hour and a half of pure, chaotic bliss.” The enduring
popularity of the film prompted the restoration of A Hard Day’s
Night, which now includes new footage an enhanced picture and a digitally
restored soundtrack.
The Little Theatre is on the corner of Oakland Ave. and Oliver St. on Western Michigan University's East Campus next to Spindler Hall. General admission is $5 for adults or $3 for students and free parking is available in Lot 11.
