Hollywood was a small town back then, it still is. The Doors were riding high on the success of Light My Fire and commanded the attention of the intellectual, rebellious elders of their generation. Away from the spotlights, Jim Morrison divided his time between his girlfriend's (Pamela Courson) apartment in Laurel Canyon and the hotels on Sunset Boulevard. One afternoon, as Christopher pulled his shiny sports car into the garage of the Chateau Marmont, a pretty redheaded girl climbed onto the hood of the car demanding to know who he was. She introduced herself as Pam Morrison, Jim Morrison's wife. While Christopher knew nothing about Pamela, Morrison's friends knew the couple was inextricably joined in a love affair that would end only by death. Jim, raised in the same southern traditions as Chris, loved the ladies too and the rapidly changing rules of sexual freedom allowed young men the opportunity to pursue any impulsive desire. It was not cool for a girl to demand fidelity in her lover, Pamela, however, was not above showing Jim she could play the game as well as he and seductively paraded some of the most beautiful men in Hollywood past Morrison to prove it. Chris, thinking Pamela was married, was not interested until Pam admitted she was not legally attached.

Christopher spent time with Pamela on occasion over the course of the next few months. When Christopher flew to London to begin filming The Looking Glass War, Pamela accompanied him. Things went well for a couple of weeks until Christopher wrote a letter to his ex-wife, Susan. Pamela read the letter and flew into a rage, throwing the hotel key at Chris and disappearing with her suitcases. Back in Los Angeles, Morrison came to the decision his breakup with Pamela had gone on long enough. He disappeared without telling anyone, flew to London to find Pamela and bring her home.

The Looking Glass War was Chris' first "big" picture. He had dismissed his previous projects as garbage and longed for a chance to do serious work. The film was released in the spring of 1970 a few months before Ryan's Daughter. During the filming of War, Chris fell in love with his leading lady, Pia Degermark. Perhaps more evenly matched then some of his previous relationships, he considered her a friend as well as a lover. They stayed in Italy together for the filming of a second picture, Brief Season. Chris was again at odds with the filmmakers, for him the shoot was both degrading and frustrating.

As his relationship ended with Pia, Christopher met Sharon Tate. Sharon was in Italy filming 13 (Eye of the Devil). She was already married to Roman Polanksi and carrying his child, but Roman couldn't get a Visa into Italy to be with her. Chris became a close friend of Sharon's, taking it upon himself to watch after her while she was alone in Italy.
