Most of this film, which was produced and directed by 23-year-old Thomas
Reichman, was shot on a night in November 1966, when Mingus awaited the
arrival of police and eviction from his Bowery loft for nonpayment of
rent. As Mingus, a hulking but gentle man, moves back and forth through
the clutter of crates, playing with his small daughter and talking to
Mr. Reichman, who remains off-screen, it becomes obvious that his
dispossession is more than just physical.
