3 Ways Jimmy Iovine’s Springsteen Experience Shaped Dire Straits’ Making Movies
- Iovine brought a rock-oriented production approach from his work on Springsteen’s Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town.
- He co-produced the album with Mark Knopfler, applying the layered, dynamic sound he developed with Springsteen.
- The result was a more polished, anthemic style that distinguished Making Movies from Dire Straits’ earlier, more understated records.
