Dirty Movies

Me & Bruce & Art - 1966 Ben Van Meter "In 1966 Uncle Art Linkletter invited Bruce Conner and me to be on his show and give him the word about the difference between Art and Dirty Movies. It was one of those typical L.A. trips. The guy that drove us to and from the airport talked non stop about the laws on buying fully automatic weapons." - Ben Van Meter

What Should My Cousin Think

Berlin-Charlottenburg, April 10, 1917 Dear Sir, You made me unhappy. I bought your "Metamorphosis" as a gift for my cousin. But, she is incapable of understanding the story. My cousin gave it to her mother who doesn't understand it either. The mother gave the book to my other cousin, who also didn't find an explanation. Now they have written to me: They expect me to explain the story to them as I am the doctor in the family. But I am at a loss. Sir! I have spent months in the trenches exchanging blows with the Russians without batting an eyelid. But I could not stand losing my good name with my cousins. Only you can help me. You must do it, as you are the one who landed me in this mess. So please tell me what my cousin should think about "Metamorphosis." Most respectfully yours, Dr. Siegfried Wolff
