| Interview with D.A. Pennebaker |  |
Q: Do you have any interesting and/or amusing behind-the-scenes stories about the making of this particular work?
A: I took it to the Paris Theater to see if they would run it. They offered me $25 a week rental, but said that since their movies only played a week or so, they would buy it for $250. Since it had cost more than that to make a 35 mm print for theater projection, I went for the weekly rental. By pure chance it ended up with the Alec Guinness comedy THE HORSE'S MOUTH, which ran for nearly a year. ... I figured I had found a way to break into the film business with music films, and it did get me started, but I was never able to make another film like DAYBREAK.
