SWEDISH FILM ON LEE MORGAN TO BE SHOWN FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN EUROPE AT THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL IN SEPTEMBER 2016! by
LARRY RENI THOMAS
"I Called Him Morgan" a documentary film about the trumpet legend Lee
Morgan, and Helen Morgan, the lady who shot Lee Morgan, has been
selected to be shown at The Venice International Film Festival
(http://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema/73rd-festival/line-up/), in
September 2016. Directed and written by Swedish filmmaker Kasper
Collin, it will feature interviews, music and excerpts from an exclusive
interview of Helen Morgan, a North Carolina native, who moved to New
York City in 1945, met the very young Lee Morgan in the 1960s, rescued
his career and killed him one cold snowy early morning in 1972, in New
York City, because she was convinced that he was dating a younger woman.
The title, "I Called Him Morgan" is taken from the interview and is
included in an article called "The Lady Who Shot Morgan.(http://www.fyicomminc.com..., http://www.khabooks.com/b...)
Collin correctly calls his upcoming highly-anticipated movie a love
story. He could have added a " very very tragic" love story. Edited by snobb - 10 Aug 2016 at 8:59am |
