Page "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" Paragraph 38

The ultimate fact was that when the film was ultimately released, there were only 117 prints made for America – so it was never really released.

117 prints!

... an art film gets 400.

We were ultimately the victim of Columbia Tri-Star being sold to Sony, because at that time all they were doing was trying to get the books looking as good as possible.

We weren't the only film that suffered, but we were the most visible one.

And what happened – to complete the story in a neat and tidy way – was that they were not spending any money on advertising to promote any of the movies started by the previous regime – by Putnam's regime.

They were burying films left right and center by spending no money on them – and the books looked really good at the end of that.
