Review of I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) by Hannah D — 29 Jan 2014

Share

This is a really entertaining and a quite funny comedy about teenage girls' obsession with the Beatles as they invade America. It reminded me a lot of one of my favourite films, Those Glory Glory Days, in which some girls are desperate to get their hands on FA Cup tickets to watch their beloved Spurs!
