The Beatles' popularity did not impress a film director - and it made John Lennon unhappy.
The Beatles released hit songs that everyone loved - and still loves - even though years have already passed. However, while they were making their first-ever big-screen movie, the band suffered a major blow after a film director rejected one of their songs.
In the mid-1960s, the hit band decided to create feature films after releasing albums and having tours around the globe. Their first project was 1964, "A Hard Day's Night."
The film focused on the behind-the-scenes featuring the Fab Four before their TV appearance.
As part of the movie, a film director asked them to write and record the film's music. Lennon, for his part, made The Beatles' song "I'll Cry Instead."
