Dixon told me
that when Spook ended its theatrical run, United Artists called him in
for a meeting and told him the movie was being tracked
by US Intelligence, which means there's a photo of me and my high-school friends
somewhere in Langley. This movie created such a furor that Dixon felt his theatrical moviemaking career
was finished. A film about insurrection
was being treated as if it were the act itself. Don't quit until you either win, or you die

his theatrical moviemaking career
