Going to bed now, but I have a feeling tomorrow will be David Hurn Day at the Gilly residence.
Peter Allchorne’s photographs from the set of A Hard Day’s Night that are being auctioned off today.
This is neat, another thing up for auction today. A signed call sheet from A Hard Day’s Night, 24 March 1964. I like how Paul and John both drew arrows to their names.

Original caption: Mop violence…Getting “away from it all,” Beatle Paul McCartney gazes wistfully into space while dangling from a stage rope on the set of United Artists’ A Hard Day’s Night, the Beatles’ first full-length movie. Meanwhile, director Richard Lester was searching everywhere on the set below for the missing Beatle, who was “hanging around” far above the commotion below. The stunt set the mood for the riotous days of shooting that followed. Some of the real-life pandemonium created by the Beatles and their fans has been kept in the film as a touch of realism.
