Jean Luc Goddard was invited D A Pennebaker to make a film (1 P.M.) in America. It was to be about revolution and include such media heroes as Eldridge Cleaver, Tom Hayden, Jefferson Airplane, Le Roi Jones and Rip Torn as the protagonist. It even had a genuine bust by the New York police. Unfortunately Goddard never completed the film so Pennebaker assembled Goddard's rushes with his own footage of Goddard at work into the form of 1P M.
