Goldstein was Philip Kaufman’s first film and it included scenes at Marina City.
Kaufman would go on to direct Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Right Stuff, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Henry & June. He would also write for the Raiders of the Lost Ark films.
But in 1964, he made a low-budget, 85-minute black-and-white film – about a prophetic old man – that won the Prix de la Nouvelle Critique award at Cannes Film Festival in May 1964. The film was released in the United States on May 7, 1965.
It starred Lou Gilbert (1909-1978) as the old man, Ellen Madison (1937-1987), Ben Carruthers (1936-1983), Second City alumni Del Close (1934-1999), Severn Darden (1929-1995), Anthony Holland (1928-1988), and Jack Burns, a comedian and voice actor who co-hosted The Burns and Schreiber Comedy Hour on TV in 1973.

Noted Chicago writer Nelson Algren (1909-1981) also made an appearance, as himself. Scenes were filmed inside an apartment at Marina City in either late 1963 or early 1964.
