On May 11, the day of this Montreal screening, there was an interview segment with Tony Palmer on CBC Radio, "Montreal Daybreak".

If you move the slider about 80%, you will get to Tony Palmer's segment near the end of the program.

I always find it very enjoyable to listen to Tony Palmer speaking about his projects. He is always so ethusiastic and charming.
There are a few nuances and incidents he mentioned in this interview that I had never heard before, such as:

there was a sequence in a sauna bath but unfortunately the camera steamed up, so we had to drop it

Did anyone on the forum go to the Montreal screening?

Were there any other screenings in North America, certainly not here in Los Angeles?

Hi Arlene,

I remembered this post from last fall:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22963&p=249127&hili ... eg#p249127

There was never any follow-up, so I don't know if any (regular) forum members were there, or if it really happened, or...? How Palmer ended up in Winnipeg (if he was, indeed, there), I have no idea!

Thanks for the catch, Lisa. But as you mentioned, no Forum reports from either Canadian screening.
Too bad. I always like to hear about the audience size and response.
