Is Crowley still doing this? I had gotten the impression from some conversation that he wasn't writing films, but had retired to spend time with his daughters (one of whom, I also seem to recall, has a crippling health problem). Am I completely off-base? If so, has he done any documentaries more recent than The Gate of Heavenly Peace? I've read the script to that one, and quite liked it. I've actually seen The World of Tomorrow, about the 1939-40 World's Fair, and it's staggeringly brilliant, and very, very Crowley.
Well, the night I did the "pre-interview" about six weeks ago, he was in town to work (all day) on a documentary. Some of these go directly to television, I gather, so you might not have heard of them. His wife, Laura, is a documentary film-maker, and in fact gave me one of hers on tape, "Fit," about the fitness industry. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. The one she is working on now involves persons with disabilities. And yes, one of their 13-year-old twin daughters has spina bifida and will never walk, except with leg-braces and crutches. She gets around pretty well though, and certainly doesn't need a full-time "retired" parent. Besides, during the school year, both girls are in (different) schools. -alga

"The Gate of Heavenly Peace" was a Frontline documentary for PBS. If you find out the names of any of his other films, let us know.
