❝HELP!”Guess where the Beatles are now?

Bermuda!! Austria!! And what are they doing there?
Why are the high priests of the terrible Goddess of
Kaili interested in the Beatles?
Why is Ringo being pursued to the end of the earth by a
gang of Eastern thugs?
What do they want of him - they aren't fans.
Two leading scientists hope to rule the world.
Paul is threatened by a beetle.
An Eastern beauty saves the boy's lives time and time again.
A channel swimmer ends up in an Alpine lake and
Buckingham Palace has a busy day.

When Scotland Yard arrives in the sunny Bahamas after
unsuccessful maneuvers on Salisbury Plain they find
four Ringos but only one George, one Paul and one John.
When the power crazy scientists arrive in the Alps the boys
miraculously escape their deadly weapons.
Will John live to sleep in his pit again?
Will Paul ever get back to his electric organ?
Will George be re-unoted with his ticker-tape machine?
And Ringo - will he ever play the drums again?

(Just in case you haven't seen the movie yet we don't want to spoil
the story for you but we will tell you that Ringo is the cause of it all.)

AND NOW...

AND PAUL

❝HELP!❞It’s an established fact. Whatever the Beatles do,
they do it big. Take their latest film epic, "Help!" With a title like that
you'd expect the fun to be fast, frantic and totally unpredictable. It is.
What's more, you can be sure that John, Paul, George and Ringo have
staged one of the wildest comedy chases ever - from the sunny shores of
Nassau to the snowy Alps of Austria and back again.
　The plot for the film-making of this full-color saga reads like a success
story itself. Men-behind-the-scenes, producer Walter Shenson and direc-
tor Richard Lester, are the same team who made the fabulous first Beatles
film, "A Hard Day's Night." That film, in the Beatles do-it-big tradition,
went on to become as popular with adult audiences as with the younger
set and won Academy Award nominations in two categories.
　Locations play a vital role in every film and "Help!" is no exception. After
shooting sessions in the chill of February London, a chartered jet depos-
ited Beatles, cast, crew, luggage, and their special co-star the 40-ft. tall,
ten-armed Goddess of Kaili, in the sweltering 90-degree heat of Nassau. In
the midst of filming, autographing and swimming, Beatles John Lennon
and Paul McCartney wrote the film's sensational musical score fea-
turing seven new numbers in all. No sooner had the Bahama silver-white
sands proved irresistible than the Beatles, cast, crew, luggage and co-star
tauern. Although Ringo is the only experienced skiier in the group, they
all took to the slopes for semi-Olympic style capers. Winding up the shoot-
ing schedule were four days on England's Salisbury Plain for a bit of mili-
tary maneuvering, with the cooperation of the British War Office which
supplied troops and tanks for the occasion.
　"As you can see, 'Help!' is essentially a good-time picture," comments
producer Shenson. "We traveled from calypso to yodel with a lot of scen-
ery and yeah-yeah thrown in besides. The boys sincerely hope that what
they've done will be fun for everyone."
　No need to worry. Whatever they are, that's where the fun is.
