Yoko Ono (b. 1933) Fly 1971 Fly was 19 minutes in length and, as with Up your legs filmed during the same New York visit, also took two days to film in a New York attic. Although only one person was filmed, in contrast to the 331 gathered for the Legs film, Fly was a more complicated project. John and Yoko asked New York actress Virginia Lust to lie down naked whilst they filmed a fly exploring her body. Approximately 200 flies were used and each had to be stunned with a special gas. The film showed a fly traversing the girl's body from her toes to her head, exploring every part. It was claimed that Virginia Lust also had to be sedated during the filming. Further filming of the Lennon's also took place during this period in the Bowery, rare footage includes John playing guitar.
