Allen Klein
Shortly thereafter, Allen Klein demanded that Jodorowsky create a film adaptation of Pauline Réage's classic novel of female masochism, "Story of O". Klein had promised this adaptation to various investors. Jodorowsky, who had discovered feminism during the filming of "The Holy Mountain", refused to make the film, going so far as to leave the country to escape directing duties. In retaliation, Allen Klein made "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain", to which he held the rights, completely unavailable to the public for more than 30 years. Jodorowsky frequently decried Klein's actions in interviews.
