No President (1967) dir. Jack Smith
Smith s third feature film was originally titled The Kidnapping of Wendell Willkie by the Love Bandit, in reaction to the 1968 Presidential Campaign. Willkie was a liberal Republican who ran against FDR in the 1940 s. It mixes B W footage of Smith s creatures with old campaign footage of Willkie. The climax of the work appears to be the auctioning of the presidential candidate at the convention.
