From 1983 to 1989, New Yorker Nelson Sullivan captured more than 1,900 hours of video footage and saved most of it on VHS tapes, making a collection of 601 episodes documenting his everyday life in the East-Village, as well as following some flamboyant local icons like RuPaul, Sylvia Miles, and Phoebe Legere.
Nelson Sullivan, a videographer in Manhattan circa 1983 to 1989, documented a large chunk of the final six years of his life, capturing his days and nights with drag queens and other NYC outcasts of the time. His style takes on a "home movie quality" that captures a lost - and now romanticized - American era in all of its mundane glory.

Myra Gardener
Quem poderia ter estrangulado a famosa estrela da Broadway, enquanto ela despreocupadamente descansava nas areias de uma praia localizada em exclusiva ilha no Mediterrâneo? Conhecendo-se Agatha Christie, a resposta só pode ser... Todos!! Esta é a quarta, e provavelmente a melhor, produção de Brabourne/Goodwin, que começou com "Assassinato no Expresso Oriente" (1974), baseada em história da Rainha do Crime. Hercule Poirot tem, então, mais um caso a resolver. Um excelente elenco participa deste filme, James Mason e Sylvia Miles, como dois produtores da Broadway que a vítima humilharia, Roddy McDowall como um colunista social que vê em uma biografia da explosiva artista a sua tímida e ciumenta esposa. Além, é claro , de Peter Ustinov como o grande Hercule Poirot. A música de Cole Porter completa o pedigree deste filme que não só é um excelente filme de suspense como também um bom exemplo de como manter o clima de mistério sem apelar para a violência excessiva.
