Bun Man said his most difficult filming was the close-ups for Ringo...

(he had to constantly pan out from the nose); and Mr. Purple said his most difficult part was keeping up w/ all the tokin' that was happening...

Some great songs from this movie "You're gonna lose that girl"; "Ticket to Ride"; "Another Girl"; and "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You"...

"A hell of a lot of pot was being smoked while we were making the film. It was great. That helped make it a lot of fun .
In the afternoon we very seldom got past the first line of the script. We had such hysterics that no one could do anything. Dick Lester would say, 'No, boys, could we do it again?' It was just that we had a lot of fun – a lot of fun in those days."
— Ringo Starr
