   Sorry. I forgot to give Bernie a copy of Peter's tape tracklists.

   _The Infant Kiss_ was directly inspired by the film _The Innocents_,
the Truman Capote scripted version of _The Turn of the Screw_ by Jack
Clayton, starring Debroah Kerr. Kate had spoken of the film, and I made
the video from the film as a way of learning how to edit.

>(Moving, Withering Heights, etc)?  British TV show? Terrific.

   The set of videos before _The Infant Kiss_ were made at a theme
park called (all together now!) "De Efteling." They were made in
April 1978, very early in Kate's career.
