July 29, 1965 –

The Beatles movie Help! opened in London on this date.
By Paul McCartney’s and Ringo Starr’s own admission, they were so stoned on pot the day they shot the scene where Dr. Foot (Victor Spinetti) and Algernon (Roy Kinnear) tried to blow them up in the Austrian Alps, that when George Harrison screamed his line “It’s an fiendish thingy! Run Ringo!” both Ringo and Paul ran over the next hill.
