Working on the Fiore film reminds me of the first film I made with eminent cinematographer Ian Wilson BSC - 'Land of the Falcon' - made for the Falcon Inns hotel group in association with the British Tourist Authority back in 1975; it went on to win the International Tourism Exchange prize in 1976, competing against 29 films from 17 countries. We had to travel around Britain staying at top hotels and eating and drinking on expenses, visiting stately homes, beautiful beaches, even whisky distilleries; it was a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. One of the sequences we shot was in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, home of Dylan Thomas. As 5 May is Dylan Thomas day, here is a short clip to celebrate the great man.
