Rockers outdraw 007 (1985)

Rockers outdraw James Bond

“Screaming teenagers trying to mob members of the Duran Duran rock band added electricity to last night’s world premiere of the James Bond movie, A View to a Kill.

“The noisy event at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts theater, where a fancy buffet party preceded the showing of the $30 million movie, was everything Hollywood film studios hunger for. It was glamorous, uproarious, hokey and bursting at the seams with colorful human behavior.”

This story about Duran Duran at the A View to a Kill movie premiere appeared on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle on May 23, 1985.
