I ran "The Thin Blue Line" 1st run at the Music Box in Chicago. I remember really liking the score & I believe it did decent business for the week we played it. Ran "Blacula" too. Poor William Marshall, a fine Shakespearean actor. From "Blacula" to the replacement for the original "King of Cartoons" on Pee Wee. [uhoh]

I screened THE THIN BLUE LINE at the Valhalla in Sydney for about 5 weeks from memory. Loved the Glass score and it's a top quality doco to boot. It actually got an innocent man off death row.
