Absolutely right. It was a film called Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid. Kris
Kristofferson played Billy and James Coburn as Garrett. Dylan played a sort
of wandering wild west minstrel. Hearts Of Fire really was a stinker of a
movie. Rupert Everett playing a rock star? Good grief.

The 'Don't Look Back' I guess refers to the film made by D.A. Pennebaker of
Dylan's 1965 British tour.
There was also a film called Renaldo & Clara he appeared in, I think its a
concert film but I don't know anything else about it.
