During this week 64, The Beatles begin filming their first film, “A Hard Day’s Night.” For the next three days, they filmed the train scenes.

“The train bit embarrasses us now,” said John.

“I’m sure it’s less noticeable to people watching in the cinema, but we know that we’re dead conscious in every move we make, we watch each other. Paul’s embarrassed when I’m watching him speak and he knows I am. You can see the nervous bits normally in pictures: things like the end – you make that on one day, and on the next day you do the beginning. But we did it almost in sequence. The first we did was the train, which we were all dead nervous in. Practically the whole of the train bit we were going to pieces.”

One of the actresses present on this day was Pattie Boyd, for whom George took an instant liking. They began dating shortly afterwards and married in January 1966.

Photos are from March 2, 1964 of the Beatles, Pattie and Susan Whitman.
