- W2056678440 abstract "F years have passed since Mike Roemer and I made Nothing But a Man, so I attended the symposium at Indiana University dedicated to both it and The Spook Who Sat by the Door with great interest and anticipation. This was my first invitation to participate in a formal discussion about the film, and it was highly satisfying to see renewed critical attention after all this time. A most interesting and illuminating experience, the symposium demonstrated that a work no longer belongs to its creators once it’s out in the world. Of course, that is the way it should be. The discussions and comments were relevant and thoughtful and reflected the myriad of personal experiences and insights of the speakers. Nothing But a Man was first exhibited at the Venice Film Festival in the fall of 1964 (where it received two major awards) and in New York City at the New York Film Festival later that fall. Its enthusiastic reception at the festivals led to an agreement with a New York distributor and its theatrical release on Christmas Eve at the Sutton theater in New York City. It was widely reviewed and publicized, yet while most of the reviews were favorable, it had a limited theatrical release. Black audiences were not truly welcome in many theaters across the country at this time, particularly theaters in the South where the film had little distribution. At its exhibition at the Sutton, Mike Roemer and I were appalled that it was being promoted as an art film. The advertisements used the Greek masks for comedy and tragedy rather than photos of the two black actors, Ivan Dixon and Abbey Lincoln, who were the stars of the film, but our complaints had no effect. The distribution and exhibition were completely out of our hands, and our opinions were rejected as being neither commercial nor feasible for getting a large audience. For the record, Nothing But a Man was not a financial success for the investors and its creators. The investors were friends, and most investments" @default.
