Signed April 23rd 1964 at the Dorchester Hotel in London
During the filming of "A Hard Days Night", the Beatles 1st movie, and during the "Can't Buy Me Love" sequence, John had to leave to Isleworth to attend a literary luncheon being held in his honour at the Dorchester Hotel. This is why only Paul, George and Ringo appear at the very end of the "Can't Buy Me Love"sequence, when a groundsman shouts at them "I suppose you know this is private property" and George sarcastically responds, "Sorry we hurt your field, mister".
Below are actual photos taken at the Dorchester April 23rd 1964
during the Foyles Luncheon.
The photo of Wilfred Brambell was not
taken at the luncheon but he was there signing.
