Just for the record, I reckon that i've seen the movie over 30 times since then. |
Gary Lockwood ( Astronaut Poole ) related that in the USA the film had the longest run ( 16 months ) in San Francisco which of course was at the height of the Height-Ashbury Flower Power scene. He said in one showing a `freak' yelled `its GOD' during the trip sequence and crashed straight through the screen
Keir related that for a whole year John Lennon had his agent buy two tickets for every screening for a whole year, and anyone could walk in off the street and try to claim the tickets if they recited a good reason why .
Sounds like at 30 viewings you may have a local record there !
