NOV. 6: "HELP!" ARRIVES: BEATLES 2ND FILM OUT ON DVD, MAKES MUSICAL MAGIC FOR 2007 HOLIDAY GIFTLIST

Yes, Beatle fans, 'HELP!' is on the way. On November 6, 2007 -- pushed back from October 30 -- the second feature film by The Beatles comes out on DVD. We at The LA Report can't wait, being big Beatlemaniacs. Did you know that the working title of the film at one time was "Eight Arms to Hold You"? Good thing they ditched that one - although perhaps some romantic spider comedy might use it one day.

The DVD release of 'Help!' will be marketed and distributed by EMI Music. Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed the band’s debut feature film ‘A Hard Days Night’, ‘Help!’ made its theatrical debut in 1965. The story follows 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, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by religious cult members, a mad scientist and the London police. In addition to starring the Beatles, ‘Help!’ has a witty script, a great cast of British character actors and features 7 classic Beatles tracks, including:

• ‘Help!’
• ‘You're Going To Lose That Girl’
• ‘You've Got To Hide Your Love Away’
• ‘Ticket To Ride’
• ‘I Need You’
• ‘The Night Before’
• ‘Another Girl’
