Remembrance: A Portrait Study (1967): Cast

The film’s soundtrack features Marilyn Monroe singing “Running Wild” from *Some Like It Hot* while portraying Nettie Thomas, a Black woman who cleaned white households in earlier eras. A scene shows the filmmaker’s mother in a wicker chair, wearing an ostrich‑feather boa, grey wool skirt and silk belt, as Dusty Springfield’s “All Cried Out” plays. Director Edward Owens notes Gregory Markopoulos advised against the music, finding it improper.
