Director: Nelson Lyon
Section: Homage | Andy Warhol
"In 1971, I produced an independent feature film in New York, written and directed by Nelson Lyon... a dark comedy about a girl who falls in love with the world's greatest obscene phone caller. In her quest to find the irresistible and mysterious caller, she encounters an array of strange characters and humorous sexual situations... Ultra Violet, Ondine and Geri Miller are in the cast. Warhol actually appeared in the film, but his scene was later cut and lost. I'm offering a substantial reward for any information leading to the recovery of this lost Warhol footage."
