 Otto Preminger (qv) originally wanted Bob Dylan (qv) to score  the movie. He invited Dylan and his wife to screening a rough cut of  the movie in his own Hollywood mansion. After the screening, Dylan  surprised everybody from his entourage, who thought the film was a  disaster, by requesting a second screening but at one condition: he  wanted to be left alone with his wife in the house during it.  Preminger happily obliged, convinced that Dylan would accept the  job. However, Dylan showed no further interest in the movie. He  acknowledged later that he and his wife werent interested at all by  Skidoo but they had loved so much the mansion style that they had  requested this second screening to freely explore the mansion, write  down what they liked and take inspiration for their own house.
