My Life, My Times
Director
"an 11‐minute slide show from a young lifetime of snapshots made by Lenny Lipton, featuring family, girlfriends, and various big‐city scenic eyesores—all accompanied by music like “Listen to the Mockingbird,” “There's a Tavern in the Town,” and a Stephen Foster medley. The film must have taken equal parts of affection and chutzpah, and it is perhaps too private really to deserve (or require) a public." - New York Times, Nov. 12th 1971
