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

The Beatles returned to London Airport today after filming on Paradise Island. Surely they rested.

The Beatles left the Bahamas today and returned to England, arriving at London Airport - the next morning.

The Beatles returned to Paradise Island for some pick-up shots.

The Beatles filmed sequences for Help!, their second feature film, on Paradise Island's Cabbage Beach and Rose Island's Victoria Beach.

The Beatles filmed at what, in the movie, they assumed to be a temple, and what, in real life, they assumed to be a disused army camp. In fact, it was a ramshackle hospital for handicapped children and old people, the state of which disgusted the Beatle.)

The Beatles filmed at Nassau International Airport, descending airplane steps and madly taking photographs of each other.

The Beatles filmed sequences at a number of locations on the island and at some cloisters, concentrating in particular on the scenes where John, Paul, and George scour the island calling out "Ringo!"
