Don't Look Back

For the album by Boston, see Don't Look Back (album).

Don't Look Back is a 1967 documentary film which covers Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965, including appearances by Joan Baez and Donovan. The film shows a young Dylan: confident if not arrogant, confrontational and contrary. Standout scenes include Dylan's extended taunting of a much older Time Magazine journalist and Dylan's rather cruel snubbing of fellow singer/sometime lover Joan Baez.

The film was written and directed by D.A. Pennebaker. The United States' National Film Preservation Foundation has declared the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

The pop band Belle & Sebastian reference the movie in their song "Like Dylan in the Movies" (refrain: "And if they follow you/don't look back/like Dylan in the movies").
