Psychedelic Drama | Director:Joe Massot | Score: George Harrison | Starring: Jane Birkin, Jack MacGowran
The eccentric professor Collins lives completely secluded in his chaotic apartment. When the model Penny moves in next to him, he becomes fascinated of her. He drills holes in her walls and ceiling and peeps on her day and night. He loses himself in daydreams and delusions.
# The movie was digitally re-mastered and restored for its 30th anniversary. While the film footage was in reasonable shape, the optical soundtrack had degraded to the point where it was nearly unrecoverable. Director Joe Massot counted himself lucky they hadn't waited any longer than they had.
# George Harrison's band for many of the soundtrack recordings was the Remo Four, who were contemporaries of The Beatles from Liverpool. Learning they were about to break up, Harrison hired them for one last project. Other musicians on the non-Indian tracks (recorded at De Lane Lea Studios) included John Barham, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Peter Tork (playing a five-string banjo Paul McCartney lent him) and Harrison himself, mostly under pseudonyms.
# Virtually all the soundtrack music was instrumental, with only occasional voices (and those slowed down, or in a foreign language). One lyrical song, "In The First Place", was recorded but not submitted; George Harrison didn't think it would suit Joe Massot. Harrison was mistaken, as it turned out; when the record turned up as the movie was being restored, Massot happily added it to the soundtrack, and a single was belatedly issued. Harrison was pleased to see the record come out, having learned that former Remo Four member Colin Manley was suffering from cancer, and the royalty payments would help with his bills. (Manley died in April 1999.)
