...Virtuoso Shootout. Bogdanovich labored for almost six months on Gorman's gritty motorcycle flick The Wild Angels, rewriting the script, scouting locations, casting ("Peter Fonda was sort of my idea"). Gorman, impressed with both Bogdanovich's energy and his results, agreed to put up the money for his first feature. There were a couple of strings. Bogdanovich had to use Boris Karloff, who owed producer Gorman two days' work on an old contract, and a certain amount of unused footage from an old Gorman opus entitled The Terror.

Its popular documentary identifying demonstrators at the recent antiwar rally at Sanders Theatre is still touring the disciplinary circuit, and already the University has produced another flick which will probably be making the rounds with admissions committeemen for years to come. Those wondering if an independent producer can still make family pictures should take heart: Experience makes the Victory at Sanders Theatre documentary look like Night of the Living Dead...
