Summary

It is a compilation of images co-creator Frank Mouris had collected from magazines interwoven with two narrations, one giving a mostly linear autobiography and the other stating words having to do with the images, the story the first voice is relating, or neither. Frank made the film with Caroline Mouris. [2] The soundtrack was conceived and created by Tony Schwartz. [3] [4] [5]
