It means nothing from a bunch of ignorant pig dogs
1943, USA, Black & White, 46 minutes
Written and directed by Anonymous (Traynor Willingham)
Starring masked unknowns
This poisonous slander film was made by Traynor Willingham, short fiction writer and flash-in-the-pan novelist, as revenge on the circle of New York literary critics who had savaged his work over the years. The film “starred” these critics (actually out-of-work Broadway actors wearing pig and dog masks) reading their reviews in a faux-retarded manner and simulating a daisy chain around a garbage dumpster. The film was shown at private parties before it was buried due to court proceedings. This has been making the rounds on the bootleg circuit for a few years, but unless there is a renewal of interest in Willinghams rather hysterical prose style, this will remain an oddity.
Watch out for – Willingham’s hand entering the frame at one point, tugging the choke chain of one of the actors who tries to run away.
Quote – “Hiisssth pwose stiiilll isth amacherisssh…” (and so on)
