The movie wasn't a hit, although it did well in Europe for some reason.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Especially on 'Taken,' 'Taken' was not a big success the day of its release. It was released in France first, and it didn't do bad, but not as good as it did in the U.S.
Everybody loves a hit. There is nothing as fun as making a cultural splash with a movie.
So anyway, I really enjoyed the European audiences.
Ford Fairlane was one of those movies that was so much fun to make that it was bound not to be a big hit.
Well, I think In Love and War, which had a wonderful performance by Sandy, Sandra Bullock, who the authorities and, the supposed authorities, in cinema didn't want to know about.
Everyone starts a film thinking that it would be a big hit. But sometimes it goes haywire.
It doesn't really matter if this movie's a success or not, because it's already out there.
It never occurred to me that it would be a big hit internationally and forever.
Has any movie captured a moment in social, let alone musical, history with as much acuity and joy as 'A Hard Day's Night'?
My early films were very European based. It was 'As It Is In Heaven,' 'Together,' they were great international successes, but then I did, I think, 60 movies or something.
