In May 1971 Nicholas Ray spoke about his films at Harpur College of the State University of New York at Binghamton. The lecture went so well that he was offered a job as a Professor of Cinema. Nick believed that the only way to teach filmmaking was by making a film with his students. The result of this experience was a feature called "We Can't Go Home Again," which premiered in the Cannes Film Festival in May 1973.
