Pressetext: This book provides the production history and a contextual interpretation of the BEATLES’ movies (A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, HELP!, YELLOW SUBMARINE, LET IT BE) and describes their ability to project the group’s image at different stages in their career. It also includes a discussion of all of the BEATLES’ promotional films and videos, as well as their television cartoon series and the self-produced television special MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. Along with the BEATLES’ feature movies and promos, this analysis also contains documentaries, such as THE COMPLEAT BEATLES and ANTHOLOGY, as well as dramatizations of the band’s history, such as BACKBEAT, THE HOURS AND TIMES, and TWO OF US. Roland Reiter (Dr. phil.) works at the Center for the Study of the Americas at the University of Graz, Austria. His research interests include various social and aesthetic aspects of popular culture.

GermanBeat: Der österreichische Musiker und Geisteswissenschaftler Roland Reiter hat kürzlich ein weiteres Buch veröffentlicht: THE BEATLES ON FILM – Eine Abhandlung über die Film- und TV-Aktivitäten der FAB FOUR. Das Werk geht auf die Dissertation Reiters zurück, welche bereits 2006 im Eigenverlag unter dem Titel SCREENING THE BEATLES MYTH erschienen ist. Wir meinen: „So macht Wissenschaft Spaß. Das Werk ist interessant und übersichtlich geschrieben. Reiter räumt außerdem mit Mythen auf.“
