anatomy of a murder





...is an excellent movie directed by otto preminger featuring a soundtrack by duke ellington. there's this photo of otto hanging over the piano as duke plays (which, for some reason, i couldn't find a decent image of) and i'm reminded of the story of when the zombies appeared in bunny lake is missing, premmy didn't seem to get the concept of the band playing to a pre-recorded track so he kept screaming at them during the filming of the scene to play live. i don't know if this is true. seems like a bunch of bullshit to me: otto preminger, seasoned director, not getting the concept of bands not playing live on the set? weird. of course, directly related to this in a way, robert altman always insisted that all "live" music be played live on the set.

and there you go, two excellent directors that had two different ways of doing things.

what does this have to do with the doodle attack book? erm, nothing, of course.

so, yeah, it's finished. 28 pages + covers, black & white, 8.5" x 5.5", print run of 100. it's $4 shipped, and you can contact me at: blackirish72@yahoo.com or wait until the gigposters add pops in the next day or so.
