1973 film portrait of Stanley Maupin who cleans sidewalks at night for the Dallas Department of Sanitation. A 1973 flim by Blaine Dunlap with music by Ken Watson.
Filmmaker Blaine Dunlap writes..."Until just the other day, I had thought all prints and elements were lost when we lost our house in Katrina- meaning that all I had was a dub of a dub of a 'film-chain' transfer done in the mid-1980s.
Fortunately, two prints that the South Carolina Arts Commission purchased many many moons ago
resurfaced---"
This stream is from the old 1980s film chain transfer.
I first saw this over at Vimeo an I find myself watching it every few months. Beautiful work, so good!

Shame that the audio isn't clearer, I couldn't make out some of what was said with my speakers on full volume. I didn't even know that this job existed...do they never get rain down there? Great character though.
