Scotch Tape (S)

Shot in 1959, Scotch Tape is Jack Smith’s first film – a joyous, three-minute romp, in color, using Peter Duchin’s rhumba “Carinhoso” for its soundtrack. Three young men merrily bop through the wreckage of razed buildings at the site of what would become Lincoln Center. The title comes from a small strip of scotch tape that was accidentally stuck on the camera and so is visible in the lower-right corner of the frame throughout the film.
