I saw this film at a theatre in Puerto Vallarta. I think it was a 'preview' since I believe it was a year or two earlier than 1976. The movie was introduced by John Huston. I'm not sure what his connection to the movie would have been except that he did frequent PV and other places in Mexico (like Acapulco & Cabo San Lucas) when he was making films. It's possible that Director Arturo Ripstein's English wasn't adequate to address a large crowd (?) but that's purely speculative. I think there were other luminaries in attendance - Houston's family maybe. I think I would have remembered O'Toole and Rampling of von Sydow if they had made an appearance. I went with a group of friends - we were on vacation from Toronto. The action in 'Foxtrot' is slow-paced. I don't think any of us were impressed with the film, but the preview was a big deal for Puerto Vallarta in the mid-seventies. It was an 'occasion'.
