We shot back in the studio
for six weeks,

:52:04
then we went back to News Orleans
and shot another week.

:52:15
Here's the car we never get to see.
:52:28
I love the location aspect of this film.
:52:32
Maybe that's because
it was New Orleans

:52:35
and because it was
a crazy time in my life

:52:47
and in Hollywood at that time.
:52:50
It was the end of the drug days.
:52:53
While I was editing this movie,
Belushi died.

:52:57
I mark John's death
:53:01
with the end of the era
of permissive drug use in Hollywood.

:53:06
In the years before that,
there had been this notion

:53:10
that cocaine was not addictive
and that it was very much up front.

:53:18
The first cocaine I ever took
:53:20
was given to me by my
production manager on Blue Collar.

:53:24
This was the end of
that four or five years

:53:29
where drug use was deemed
permissible in Hollywood.

:53:35
It affected this film, as it did
many other films at this time.

:53:40
In a case like this, you can see
all the design priorities -

:53:47
that bed, the blanket, the painting.

Here's a little homage
to the film I wanted to do and did next,
