Things We Said Today #440 – “Help!” at 60, Part 2 – A Chat With Steve Matteo

In Episode 440 of Things We Said Today Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren DeVivo are joined by Steve Matteo - whose most recent book, “Act Naturally,” covers the Beatles’ film career in depth – for a discussion of “Help!” on its 60th anniversary. (The discussion begins after the news segment, at 24’40”.)
