NOT TO TOUCH THE EARTH - 8MM

---

Info:

8mm B&w footage with a studio version of Not To Touch The Earth for a soundtrack. In March 1968, The Doors management hire famed New York artist Bobby Neuwirth to 'babysit' Jim Morrison and complete a short documentary film titled Not To Touch The Earth as a companion to their recently recorded epic The Celebration Of The Lizard. The film includes footage of the The Doors shot on March 15th in Hamilton, March 16th in Rochester, and March 17th in Boston. Also included is behind-the-scenes footage of the band in flight and other miscellaneous venue/location footage. Linda Ronstadt can be spotted briefly. Although intended to be a promotional film, it is never used for that purpose and does not go into production. Outtake footage is known to exist, however the whereabouts of the complete master filmwork is currently unknown.
