Breaking Glass is a 1980 British film starring Hazel O'Connor, Phil Daniels and Jonathan Pryce. The film was co-produced by Dodi Fayed and written and directed by Brian Gibson. The film was screened out of competition at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. The movie depicts the rise and fall of Kate , an angry but creative young singer and songwriter. At the beginning of the movie, she is discovered by Danny , a young man who desperately wants to become a promoter of music bands but is stuck working for another agent . Danny takes an active part in controlling Kate's career, impressed with her... talent if not her band, whom he promptly fires. He arranges auditions and reaches out to former friends, and in doing so Kate's new band, Breaking Glass is formed. Breaking Glass consists of Kate on vocals and keyboard, best friends Tony and Dave on lead and bass guitar respectively, the drug-addicted and partially deaf Ken on saxophone and the 'mental' Mick on drums.
