Nonsense! There's nothing childlike at all about these four characters. They're all hyper aware of what's going on around them as opposed to everyone else in the film. They're the only ones who have it all together and who have any sanity.. The entirety of this film is a bunch of post war "stiff upper lip" Brits falling into the modern age without a clue as how to deal with it until these four guys open their eyes and show them how.

As many people have seen in movies, plays and TV shows, the British had a long-standing class system. The snobby aristocracy and the plebeian everyman. This archaic order was still in place in 1960's England. All of this to say when the Beatles, who hailed from Liverpool, started treating the elite class with mild ridicule and insouciance, the younger generation loved it!

I'm curious as a millenial. Were these guys adored by women for their charms or back in the 60s they were seen also as "bad boys" in the eyes of the British public? They are so distant I don't know if they qualified as sex symbols, and girls were fainting for them more for the incredible stardom and celebrity status. Would very conservative parents ask the radio be switched off if they came on for teenagers, for example.
