No. At the very least, _Julia and Julia_ (Italian, 1987; d: Peter del Monte), starring Kathleen Turner, Gabriel Byrne, and Sting, was shot on high-definition video, then transferred to film. Don't have the info handy, but I seem to remember that Coppola used video for one of the Hinton films or _One From The Heart_. (might be wrong about Coppola, but positive about the first film). arthur
