The 1965 Beatles film 'Help!' is a legendary piece of pop-culture cinema, but it also changed the course of music history through a single instrument. During a scene set in an Indian restaurant, George Harrison first encountered the Sitar, a traditional Indian string instrument with sympathetic strings. Fascinated by its complex sound, Harrison bought one and soon began studying under Sitar legend Ravi Shankar. This led to the 'Raga Rock' movement and the integration of Indian classical music into Western pop and film scores. The Sitar's unique, buzzing resonance became a symbol of the 1960s psychedelic era. This is a rare case where a prop in a movie led a movie legend to discover an instrument that would change the sound of global music forever.
