As Johnny Thornton recounts, "I was shooting a job for Benson & Hedges in Phoenix, it was the days of the death of the drive in which was a place for sexual encounters for those of my age group, the drive in was found by Mike McGin, my location scout. The girl was a dancer in a men's club, the cow chair and the other props where at the production office. I had thought about putting something on the screen which would have meant manipulation and using Polarpan would be almost impossible, so I went with the blank screen."
