Remembrance: A Portrait Study (S)
1967 · Documentary · 6 min. · United States
The music is by Marilyn Monroe singing ‘Running Wild’ from Some Like It Hot, because it’s a film portrait of Nettie Thomas. She did floors in white women’s homes, like black women did to support their families in the olden days. My mother is sitting in a wicker chair with an ostrich feather boa, a grey worsted wool skirt, a silk belt. For her portrait, I used ‘All Cried Out’ by Dusty Springfield…I was advised by Gregory J. Markopoulos not to play the music. Because Gregory didn’t think it was proper. (Edward Owens)
