Help!

Help! (1965) starring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr. Members of a far Eastern cult pursue Ringo, who has somehow come into possession of a ring that the cult uses in their ceremonies. The other Beatles come along for the ride. The flimsy plot provides a framework within which John, Paul, George and Ringo can perform a number of their songs -- although the songs in this movie are not among the best the Beatles ever sang. To be fair, this movie provides some good laughs, and Beatles fans are sure to be delighted. The subtitles are good; even the songs are subtitled. Closed captions are not offered, and not really needed. Grade: B
