Rating: 5/5 -- This lively forgotten film, which says so much without speaking, is certainly worthy of DVD salvation. Criterion, are you listening? Full Review

Laughs, romance, and even something of an adventure flower in Lane's New York. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Lane is endlessly inventive in the ways he finds to create humorous situations and tell his story through images, and the soundtrack music, by Marc Marder, reinforces everything that happens. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Charles Lane's follies are enmeshed within bigger pictures of reality, reestablishing the film's thesis of comedy as a mode of survival. Full Review

Product Description:

African-American mime artist Charles Lane directed and starred in this ultra-low-budget film. Lane plays a Chaplinesque homeless individual with a talent for sidewalk chalk art, who finds himself caring for an abandoned baby. The child's father has been killed in a robbery, so Lane begins a long, lonely search for the kid's next of kin. What little dialogue there is comes from the mouths of the multitude of oddball characters with whom Lane comes in contact while he roams the streets of New York.
