For the final day of filming Help! in Austria, The Beatles and their doubles appeared in scenes on the ski slopes.
Parts of the famous ‘Ticket To Ride’ sequence was shot on this day, as was an unused scene in an outdoor restaurant featuring Ringo Starr.
That evening John Lennon and Ringo Starr gave a telephone interview to radio presenter Chris Denning. It was broadcast on Radio Luxembourg’s weekly show The Beatles.
