Claim: This sequence was filmed in March 1965 on the ski slopes of Obertauern, Austria. It was the last day of filming in that country. In the film, the group travels to the Austrian Alps to hide Ringo Starr from an Eastern religious cult and mad scientists who are trying to steal a sacred ring from him. The background song is "Ticket to Ride," which appears on both the album Help! and the film of the same name.

Why it matters: This scene, along with the rest of the film, is considered one of the direct influences on the modern structure of MTV music videos in the 1980s. It broke with the traditional format of music documentaries by intertwining the rhythm of the song with surreal sketches.
