Thread Name: Tam Lyn: any 'source singer' recordings?
Subject: RE: Tam Lyn: any 'source singer' recordings?
I had a VHS video of the film. Roddy McDowall introduces the film with a rather long and rambling intro that is more about how beautiful and cool Ava is/was than anything else. I don' think he ever made it clear that this film of his was taken from a classic old ballad. The film's action is updated to modern times---possibly Manhattan high rise night life. It's a real stretch and not very good as I remember it. Kind of fascinating though.
I did send a copy of it to Ann Hills and Mark Moss. They named their daughter Tamlynn. (Not sure if my spelling of her name is correct.) I don't think Ann and Mark ever got back to me to say what they thought of it. Then I just forgot about it---until now.
