According to The Beatles Bible:

Filming: A Hard Day's Night

3.01pm, Monday 23 March 1964 (47 years ago)

This was the first day of filming at the Scala Theatre in London, where the performance finale of A Hard Day's Night took place.

In all The Beatles were at the Scala for seven working days, until 31 March when the final performance in front of an audience took place.

The Scala Theatre was situated at 58 Charlotte Street in central London. It was closed and demolished in 1969 after being damaged by fire, and was later replaced by an office block and a cinema. Today the television station Channel 4 Television owns Scala House, which stands on theatre's former location.


Now let's see if we can find out when And I Love Her was filmed.

Beatleswiki says:
The song is featured in The Beatles' first film, A Hard Day's Night. They played it while "rehearsing" for a live concert at the end of the film. This sequence was taped on March 31, 1964 at the Scala Theatre in London.

According to the Lewisohn Chronicles book, on Tuesday 31 March they filmed the live performance segment at The Scala in front of an audience (including Phil Collins) which closes the film - And I Love Her wasn't part of that (even though Lewisohn says it was!). They played Tell Me Why, If I Fell, Should Have Known Better and She Loves You (plus You Can't Do That which was later cut).

The "rehearsal" clip (with no live audience) that Xosé asks about must have been filmed the previous week. As Xosé has already pointed out, Lewisohn gives the dates as between Monday 23rd March and Thursday 26th.

This is correct (=neither The Beatles Bible, nor the Beatleswiki. Sorry Bobber!!   )

I also emailed Lewisohn. Unfortunately, he has not the details, but he will look for them...

Best!!

the scene in the baggage car cage has always been a favorite.  Love when the girl reaches through and takes a swipe at Ringo.
