1977 Re-release of the 1967 Martin Scorsese romantic melodrama. "Who's That Knocking at My Door" was filmed over the course of many years, undergoing many changes, new directions and different names along the way. The film began in 1965 as a student short film about J.R. and his do-nothing friends called "Bring on the Dancing Girls". In 1967, the romance plot with Zina Bethune was introduced and spliced together with the earlier film, and the title was changed to I Call First. This version of the film received its world premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival in November 1967. Finally, in 1968, exploitation distributor Joseph Brenner offered to buy the picture and distribute it on the condition that a sex scene be added to give the film sex exploitation angles for marketing purposes. Scorsese shot and edited a technically beautiful but largely gratuitous montage of J.R. fantasizing about bedding a series of prostitutes (shot in Amsterdam, Holland with a visibly older Keitel) and the film finally became "Who's That Knocking at My Door" (named for the song which closes the film). The film was then re-issued under the title "J.R." in 1970 , however all subsequent releases have been published under the 1968 title.
