A stunning stone lithography poster for The Beatles' first full-length feature film A Hard Day's Night, which followed the fab four over an anarchic 36 hours in London at the height of Beatlemania. Director Richard Lester's snappy editing and energetic pacing gave the film a uniquely modern documentary style and led to the development of the music video. Considered one of the most influential musical films ever made, the offbeat sixties classic is often voted among the top 100 films of the 20th century. Although a similar format, Australian day bills are significantly rarer than US insert posters.

Conservation backed on linen. Backing has smoothed the two horizontal machine folds so that they are virtually invisible. A tiny brown spot to left of 'N' in 'Night' - possibly ink from the printing process. Image and colours excellent.
