Produced in 2007 by his daughter Mary Engel, Morris Engel: The Independent is a tribute to the New York City based filmmaker whose debut feature Little Fugitive (1953), created with his wife Ruth Orkin and writer Ray Ashley, was acknowledged by director Francois Truffaut as a major inspiration for the French New Wave. Using photographs, film clips, home movies and interviews, Mary Engel provides an overview of her father's life beginning with his childhood in which Tom Mix Westerns led to a lifelong love of the cinema... Divided into such chapter headings as "Still Photography," "Revisiting Little Fugitive," "Tributes" and other topics, Morris Engel: The Independent includes interviews with NYC gallery owner Howard Greenberg, Richie Andrusco (the child star of Little Fugitive who returns to the original Coney Island locations and recalls his memories of the film), film critic Foster Hirsch, and fellow documentary filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker, Richard Leacock and Albert Maysles. (TCM)
