 Beatles producer George Martin (I) (qv) joined the Beatles in the  Alps for a skiing vacation, while they filmed there, but hardly got  to enjoy it; he broke his ankle the very first day. Also, while  Martin had provided the instrumental soundtrack for  _Hard Days Night, A (1964)_ (qv), he and Richard Lester hadnt  gotten along, and Lester chose Ken Thorne (qv) for "Help!"s  instrumental score; in Martins own words, "I was included out."
