- Bryan, regretfully left The Mermaid Theatre and Bernard Miles to join the film industry. He did this solely with help from Don Chaffey, director of 'Jason and The Argonauts' and many episodes of 'The Prisoner'. The film union was a closed shop for many years so that without a major sponsor you just did not get in.
- After returning from the Peter Gabriel concert in Greece, Bryan was asked by Peter to edit the footage from four songs to show producer, Martin Scorsese. Martin told Bryan he loved the cut and to proceed with editing the entire concert. Bryan asked him if he should look at Martin's concert film 'The Last Waltz'. Marty said: "No, I don't want to influence you - just keep going your own way.
- At the orchestral score recording for 'The Mission', the film's director, Roland Joffé said it was not a spaghetti western he was making, and Morricone would have to rewrite the cue 1M4 - 'Mendoza (De Niro) arriving at Don Cabeza's house'. Ennio, the consummate master, rewrote it overnight, and the London philharmonic orchestra recorded it the next day to the satisfaction of Roland. Having done this Ennio stunned the Director, Producer, Editor, Sound Mixer and the entire orchestra by going immediately on to 1M1, one of the most famous pieces of film music ever recorded. Everybody in the recording box applauded afterwards and the orchestra applauded - a very very rare thing.
