Help! Facts
According to still photos included in the "making of" documentary on the new Special Edition DVD, one of the features in Ringo's apartment space that was not used in the movie was a little dining room table and chairs in the vending machine wall that would pop out in the same manner as Paul's organ.
Beatles producer George Martin joined the Beatles in the Alps for a skiing vacation, while they filmed there, but hardly got to enjoy it; he broke his ankle the very first day. Also, while Martin had provided the instrumental soundtrack for A Hard Day's Night, he and Richard Lester hadn't gotten along, and Lester chose Ken Thorne for "Help!"'s instrumental score; in Martin's own words, "I was included out."
The original title of the movie was "Eight Arms to Hold You", although no one really liked it much and by the time the movie was edited, it didn't really fit the storyline at all. John Lennon had written the song "Help!" around the same time, and it suited the movie's theme so well it became the title song.
There are many references to the James Bond films, as United Artists also distributed the films of that series.
Beatles' reading material: The book John takes from the shelf and kisses before settling down to read, is his own "A Spaniard in the Works." Meanwhile, Paul has a selection of Superman comic books atop his organ. (In the novelization of the movie, the book John selects is "Les Liaisons Dangereuses", aka "Dangerous Liaisons".)
