Template:Album infobox 2

Help! is the title of a 1965 film starring The Beatles and also featuring Leo McKern. It is also the soundtrack album from the film, as well as the title song from that album. The album cover features the group spelling out a word in semaphore; the British Parlophone release featured the word 'NUJV', whilst the slightly re-arranged US release on Capitol Records appeared to feature the word 'NVUJ'.

Produced by George Martin for EMI Records, the album (in its original British form) contains seven songs that appeared in the movie and seven that did not, including one of the most successful songs in history, the archetypal Paul McCartney ballad "Yesterday".

Even without the presence of the legendary "Yesterday", many critics consider the album Help! worthy of high praise. The album shows The Beatles, but mainly John Lennon, under the influence of Bob Dylan and folk music. The title track reveals Lennon's confusion and cynicism hidden under a maze of rhythms; "It's Only Love" features another tugging vocal by Lennon.

McCartney adds "Yesterday" as well as "Another Girl", a fast moving congo beat pop song; "The Night Before", a standard rock & roll song, and "I've Just Seen A Face", a rollicking Dylanesque folk song often overlooked by Beatle fans.

George Harrison contributes the low-key "I Need You" and the headstrong "You Like Me Too Much".

This album seems to be the turning point for the Beatles, coming off of Beatlemania and entering a more focused stage. A year after this album was released, the Beatles played their last live concert, in San Francisco's Candlestick Park, in order to spend more time in the studio.

The film's original working title was "Eight Arms to Hold You". The plot of the movie revolves around a sacrificial ring which Ringo cannot take off.

The Beatles said that the film was inspired by the Marx Brothers classic Duck Soup.

The song "Help!" has also been covered by Deep Purple, The Carpenters, Bananarama and The Damned.
