I think Side 1 of Making Movies is one of the best Sides of any album EVER. I burnt through it when I was young. Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet and Skateway. What an amazing trio of songs!

@@grokur9714 But this WAS a sizable hit for them. Dire Straits was not Prince or Madonna. They didn't have dozens of well known songs that they had to pick from to pare down to a tight setlist. They could've done a solid set of well known songs that included this one, "Industrial Disease", and "Twisting By the Pool" night after night.

Mark Knopfler visited the studio while Springsteen and the E. Street Band recorded The River. He was seriously smitten by the way Springsteen led everything, and he saw himself as someone who could be such a leader. What he forgot to consider was his lack of experience as a band boss compared to Bruce. David Knopfler left Dire Straits soon after.
