 United Artists was pressuring the producers to finally come up with  a title for the film. When John told producer Walter Shenson (qv)  about Ringos malapropisms, Shenson thought that Ringos phrase "a  hard days night" might make a good title. John agreed. Shenson  called United Artists with the proposed title, which was coolly  received. Shenson suggested that they ask the secretaries and other  young employees, who may be fans of The Beatles (qv), what they  thought of the proposed title. The suggestion worked and the title  was accepted.
