Eugene Walter - Last of the Bohemians
Robert Clem's 1-hour film about Mobile native Eugene Walter, who ran away from home at age three, helped found the Paris Review in the 1950s, worked with Fellini and other Italian film directors as actor and translator, became famous as the author cookbooks and, on his return to Mobile in the ‘70s, was the focus of Mobile's art scene until his death in 1998. Some described him as magical; others, as a fraud, a 'moocher' who never had a dime of his own. “When all else fails, throw a party,” he would say. When he died, Mobile's cathedral was packed to overflowing with those whose lives he touched with his charismatic charm.
