What's left behind the scenes

  • The film's premiere was accompanied by a conflict (and even a fight) between director Jean-Luc Godard and producer Ian Quarrier. During the presentation of the film at London's National Film Theatre, Godard, upon learning that the ending of his film had been altered, punched the producer in the face. To defuse the situation, the cinema manager tried to intervene on behalf of the producer – at which point Godard attacked him as well. The manager retaliated with a punch, causing Godard to fall off the stage to the astonishment of nearly six hundred people in the audience. Getting to his feet, Godard announced to the audience that he would soon show the original version of the film, projecting it onto the outside wall of the cinema. Despite the conflict, the manager later did provide the director with the equipment to carry out such an action.
  • Director Jean-Luc Godard (1930-2022) was asked to come to the UK to shoot a film in support of abortion legalization. Shortly after his arrival, however, the UK softened its legislation regarding abortion, and the need to film such a film disappeared. Godard agreed to stay in the UK on the condition that he could film either with 'The Beatles' or with 'The Rolling Stones'. The first offer to star in Godard’s film was declined, while the latter stated they were fans of his work and agreed.
  • Working on the film was fraught with difficulties and complications. In particular, a studio burned down, and Brian Jones (1942-1969) of 'The Rolling Stones' was arrested for possession of cannabis.
