Briefly Noted…

Several of you have written to say that 200 Motels, the 1971 British musical starring Frank Zappa, was shot on tape and transferred to film. Now that you mention it, I think a number of concert films were, even before that. But Norman, Is That You? was a first for several new processes which, at the time, some said would make shooting on film obsolete. That didn't happen…or at least, didn't happen with regard to tape.
