I recently got word that Helen Hill’s film Scratch and Crow has been named to the National Film Registry.
Each year the Librarian of Congress names 25 films to the registry that are “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant to be preserved for all time. These films are selected as works of enduring importance to American culture.
We got out our DVD of Helen’s films and watched Scratch and Crow. Yessir, it’s a gooder, and I’m glad to see it so recognized. And it’s in good company — Dog Day Afternoon and The Muppet Movie were also named this year.
That’s awesome, B. Simply awesome. God bless Helen and her family. Thanks for the news.
Bart, Have you heard from Helen’s husband lately? Hope he and their beautiful little boy are doing well.
I first learned of your blog when the Helen Hill tragedy made national news. Its such a sad story.
