This site also repeats that Lennon stand-in thing. Which doesn't make it true, but still...

I'll have to rewatch that puppy and look for it. If this is true then the REAL trivia question is "who was the stand-in?"
Beatles SUPER trivia
YIPES!!!! here's yet another John Lennon "body-double" thing. It is true that in some of the cuts from that scene you see only 3 of the 4 Beatles (I have read about this before), but he "body double" idea is (IMHO) a freekin farse, and the FACT that some of that scene is missing a Beatle proves it... does it not?
I dont believe it, but here it is:
"In the scene of A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964) where the Beatles are running and playing in the field, Lennon was not there. He was away promoting his new book John Lennon: In His Own Write. A body double filled in for John, and close-up shots of John were edited into the scene later."
