Interview. Wim Wenders.

Don't Come Knocking "So the day I found out that Poisonville actually was Butte, Montana, and that everything described in [Red Harvest] came from [Dashiell Hammett's] experiences when he came to Butte as a [Pinkerton] detective in 1924, that day, I got into my car and I drove there.... [W]hat I saw blew my mind."

With Don't Come Knocking now out on DVD, Calvin Souther and Jonathan Marlow talk with Wim Wenders about its setting - and much, much more.

Related: Wenders has not only designed the Summer 06 issue of Zoetrope: All-Story, he's also contributed an essay: "About Butte."
