A Thousand Times Yes, Zacharek on Hard Day’s Night

July 7, 2014 by Tim Riley

“…Ringo is the language mangler who says exactly what he means, usually inadvertently—though sometimes his eyes, good-natured but also ringed with dark circles that suggest excessive worry, say more: On a train, he passes a glass-windowed compartment where a stunning young woman sits, stroking a furry cat that rests suggestively in her lap. She sees him, smiles, and crooks her finger; he does a double take — that cat! — and then demurs, half-shocked, half-flattered, and having no idea what to do.”

Stephanie Zacharek in Fifty Years On, A Hard Day’s Night Is Still Revelatory | Village Voice

Joshua Wolf Shenk gathers a lot of pre-digested quotes for the masses in his Atlantic feature, The Power of Two, and gets a break mostly since he wrote the mighty Lincoln’s Melancholy.

Also: Chuck Gunderson’s Some Fun Tonight!, on stadium tour infancy 1964-66. Gunderson participates in the Beatles Roundtable.

And the Criterion Collection has just put out A Hard Day’s Night on DVD/Blu-Ray
