Luc Godard (qv) was called to England to make a film  calling for the legalization of abortion. Shortly after his arrival,  though, England relaxed their abortion laws, and his film became  unnecessary. Godard agreed to remain in England on the condition  that he could make a film with either The Beatles or The Rolling  Stones. The Beatles declined the offer, but the Stones promptly  accepted, claiming they were avid fans of Godards work.
