[edit] Plot summary
In 1964, The Beatles are about to go on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time. Girls are fainting during their concerts from sheer excitement at being in the same theater with them. Pam Mitchell (Nancy Allen) is about to get married but wants to bed one of the guys before she does. Rosie Petrofsky (Wendie Jo Sperber), a very huge fan, just wants to be in the show with her idols, and Grace Corrigan (Theresa Saldana), is certain that if she can get some exclusive photos of The Beatles, her career as a photographer will be secured.
