John, Paul, George, and Ringo travel down to London with Paul’s grandfather, a very clean but decidedly mischievous old man, to appear on a television show, and get into various scrapes along the way, in Richard Lester’s thoroughly entertaining look at a day in the life of The Beatles, filled with a wealth of memorable visual and verbal gags and, of course, songs.
