Jay, The films I'm told was "Prelude to Dog Star Man". From what my friend gathers, Stan was very nervous, analyzing every gesture and tick the Grand Ole Pound had during the screening. I would be similarly anxious myself.

DC Vito, Any idea what the films were? Was Stan there? This must have been late fifties, ('57?), when EP was in NYC to ship out to Italy. Must have been very early work. I can't help but think that Pound would have been moved by the energy and force of that early work. I hope and trust he would have seen it more in the tradition of, say, Gaudier-Brzeska ('sculptural energy is the mountain') than just a kinetic, rushing version of the movies he was used to seeing.
