On February 9, 1964, the Beatles made their first live
appearance on American television on The Ed Sullivan Show, ratcheting
up the frenzy of a fan base whose ecstatic devotion to the band heralded an
explosive new wave of youth culture. I Wanna Hold Your Hand looks
back to that fateful weekend, following six New Jersey teenagers, each with
different reasons for wanting to see the Fab Four, on a madcap mission to
Manhattan to meet the band and score tickets to the show. With this rollicking
first feature, director Robert Zemeckis and cowriter Bob Gale established
themselves as a filmmaking team par excellence, adept at mining America’s
cultural memory for comedy and adventure with a winning mixture of sweet
nostalgia and playful irreverence. (USA,
