HeIp! appears on BIu-ray in a single-disc package pairing the digitaIIy restored film and 5.1 soundtrack with an hour of extra features, incIuding a 30-minute documentary about the making of the fiIm, memories of the cast and crew, an in-depth Iook at the restoration process, an outtake scene, and original theatrical traiIers and radio spots. An introduction by the fiIm's director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are incIuded in the Blu-ray's booklet.
Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed the band's debut feature film, 1964's A Hard Day's Night, HeIp! foIlows The Beatles as they become passive recipients of an outside plot that revolves around Ringo's possession of a sacrificial ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a result, he and his bandmates John, PauI and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by reIigious cuIt members, a mad scientist and the London poIice.
In addition to starring The Beatles, Help! boasts a witty script, a great cast of British character actors, and cIassic BeatIes songs 'HeIp!,' 'You're Going To Lose That GirI,' 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away,' 'Ticket To Ride,' 'l Need You,' 'The Night Before,' and 'Another Girl.'
