(Thursday, April 2, 1964) — The Beatles filmed the press interview scenes for their debut feature film A Hard Day’s Night today at the Scala Theatre in London.

The dialogue was based on the events that took place on Feb. 11, 1964, following The Beatles’ concert at the Washington Coliseum in Washington, D.C.

The group had attended a reception held at the British Embassy, but walked out after one of the guests cut a lock from Ringo Starr’s hair.
