The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film
1959 British film by Richard Lester
The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film is a 1959 British sketch comedy short film directed by Richard Lester and Peter Sellers, in collaboration with Bruce Lacey.[2]
It was filmed over two Sundays in 1959, at a cost of around £70 (equivalent to £1,733 in 2021) (including £5 for the rental of a field).[3]
It was a favourite of The Beatles, which led to Lester being hired to direct A Hard Day's Night (1964) and then Help! (1965), in which Lacey makes a guest appearance as George Harrison's gardener in the sequence where the group arrive at their "home".[4]
