Beatles A Day in the Life Blog posts of '1965' 'March'

Although the Beatles stayed behind, the film unit left Obertauern on the 21st, shooting a scene at Radstadt station with the "doubles" and another in a tunnel en route to Salzburg, where they stayed for the night.

Today was the last day of shooting, with the Beatles and their "doubles" back out on the slopes, miming to part of "Ticket To Ride" and generally being silly. The filming was then completed with an outdoor restaurant sequence involving Ringo and his "double" (not in the finished film).

Pick-up shots were filmed on a terrace and in the snow today. (It's been a long week)

Today was another busy day, filming at an Olympic jump location, on the mountainside and in an apres-ski cellar.

Today the Beatles filmed a sequence at the curling rink and then ended the day by filming by some bushes. It was on this day that the film's title was announced as "Eight Arms To Hold You" and so it would remain for almost another month.

Today the ski-lift sequence was completed.

Beatles and "doubles" filmed today on a ski-lift and on the slopes.

Shooting began today in front of the hotel, where they filmed a "tobaggan hire" sequence not used in the finished print. They then moved elsewhere in the locality and were filmed falling backwards together into snow. Beatles "doubles" wee also in action the first day, filmed riding on horse-drawn sleigh. (The doubles were Cliff Diggins, mick Dillion, Peter Cheevers and Joe Dunne, Londoners all.)

Two days after returning from the Bahamas, the Beatles and their film crew once again departed England for foreign climes: this time to the snow-capped mountains of Austria. They flew out of London Airport on the 11:00 am flight for Salzburg, where they were greeted by some 4,000 fans and scores of Austiran journalists. After a press conference at a nearby hotel - filmed, typically, by newsreel and TV cameras, the Beatles were taken to the Hotel Edelweiss in Obertauern, where they were based until departure on the 22nd. All of the filming took place in Obertauern.
