The base of the program was ONE of his trips through Europe--just ONE. The man who made the film said he was retracing a particular collecting trip Alan made. He referenced some of the same sources, included clips of interviews of Alan being interviewed under various circumstances, and a gentle look at the man recovering from serious stroke(and his beautiful daughter, the strong and loving Anna). The filmmaker was able to give examples of proof of Alan's understanding of life and culture, and show where some of his philosophy of life came from. That's a lot from a thumbnail sketch, sort of. It might take an army to retrace most of the trips Alan took, and get a larger picture--an army and quite a long time. Lucky to have this look at the work.             Tw
