Was checking Youtube for something and stumbled on this:

One of their best!
 
Good one! Now, what's with the manhole?
 
The clip is from their movie, <span style="font-style: italic"> Help! </span> . Ringo had a ring that the bad guys were after. The guy in the manhole was one of them, if memory serves.
 
Who are those young fella's? They seem kinda talented, ya know? :smile: They might be famous some day.... lol

Of course today, the bad guys would just steal the manhole cover.
 
Great song, but the girl looks like a guy in drag! Can you say "tweeze?"

I wondered about that also, Basil!
 
Nice!

We had a little skiffle band in high school and used to play that...I haven't tried it in ages, but I just strummed it out on my acoustic a minute ago.
It's actually pretty easy.

Semi-related note:

~Here~ is why my race car is "909" (can you ID any of the cars in the later part of this?)

Nice, Nial - I never made the connection!

And it's one of my favorite tunes to strum on my 12-string as well.

Okay, here goes......

First car we see is a Humber, probably an Imperial, with the vinyl roof. A silver Jaguar 420 comes into the shot.

Next frame, the red sporty thing looks like an Aston Martin, my guess would be a DB2/4 convertible.

The line of cars in the street as the officers are crossing are as foolows: Austin van, Ford 100E Popular/Anglia; Mini;BMC 1100; Triumph 2000 Mk1 and a Jaguar MKX. The roof in the next shot looks like it's on an Austin/Morris 1800 "Landcrab". The blue Police van is a Morris Commercial, commony referred to as a "Paddy Wagon".

You are good!

I thought the red car might be a Ferrari, but on second thought, I think you're right.</span>

<span style="font-size: 8pt">methinks you're familiar with those Paddy Wagons :wink: </span>
 
I know Paddy Wagons!

I grew up with all of those vehicles around me, I have a distinct advantage. By the time, say, Barry was born, all or most of those were already piles of rust in a scrapyard somewhere.
 
I had forgotten that that was the plot line of Help. A guy whose last name ends with an "o" has a ring, and the bad guys are after it. Hmmm, where have I heard that before...

um, the red car has too much windscreen rake to be a DB2/4. The wings are too sleek as well. DB2/4 was more "bulbous". And th' wheels are lookin' eye-tie to me. Borrani, mostlike. Not sure but I think Pininfarina "something"... guessin' 250-ish Ferrutzi. :wink:
 
At first I thought 275 GTB, but it lacks the side vents. Now I'm thinking maybe around '61 250 GT! Definitly Italian if not a Ferrari!
