Martin's Press Welles shot "The Other Side of the Wind" (which also starred director Peter Bogdanovich, Oja Kodar, Lilli Palmer, Mercedes McCambridge, Dennis Hopper and Susan Strasberg) without the backing of a studio, having long since burned many bridges among the moneymen of Hollywood. He faced constant financial pressures with various business interests during filming; a French production company held onto the negatives demanding compensation, while the original Iranian backers (which included the brother of the Shah) collapsed in the wake of the revolution in 1979.
