The Drama of Documentary
To the Editor: The brief article by James Greenberg [ The Controversy Over Malcolm X, Jan. 27 ] implies that Malcolm Xs life has not been made into a film. Actually, Marvin Worth produced and Arnold Perl, my father, wrote and directed a feature-length documentary entitled Malcolm X, based on Alex Haleys Autobiography of Malcolm X. The film was released by Warner Brothers in 1972, and while it had only a short run, it was nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary. After first writing a drama of Malcolm Xs life, my father came to believe that Malcolm Xs power, intelligence and charisma told his own story better than an actor could. So, he changed his initial approach and used actual footage of Malcolm X. I look forward to seeing a new film about Malcolm X, whose life and visions deserve to be better known and understood.
