While 'Help!' is a Beatles comedy, it contains the quote 'I need you' and led to a global musical shift. On the set of the film, George Harrison first encountered the sitar during a scene set in an Indian restaurant. The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument used in Hindustani classical music. Harrison's fascination with the instrument's complex resonance led him to study with Ravi Shankar and introduce it to Western pop culture. This moment changed the sound of the 1960s forever. The sitar became a symbol of the decade's spiritual exploration. This is a rare instance where a prop in a movie legend’s film became a literal instrument of change for global music history and the themes of its era.
