		Morrissey's films are also cinematic playgrounds full of skewed humor; rambling, improvised dialogue (only after Heat did Morrissey begin using scripts); and manic performances by Factory denizens-turned-actors such as manic chatterbox Andrea Feldman, who won her 15 minutes of fame in 1972, when she committed suicide by leaping from a building clutching a Coke bottle.
		Morrissey met Warhol in the mid-'60s, when Warhol recruited the budding young director to assist in his cinematic experiments of simply placing people in front of the camera and letting them go.
		Morrissey, who distributes many of his own films, some of which are only now getting commercial release, has not made a film in almost a decade.

		As luck would have it, I call Paul Morrissey at his New York office a few hours after the Senate votes for acquittal in the impeachment trial of President Clinton.
		Morrissey, best known for his late '60s and early '70s graphic underground exposés Trash and Heat, is livid about the outcome.

	Warhol/Morrissey Years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Proof that Warhol and Morrissey were interested in the kid, Joe was invited to Tucson to join a cast of Warhol irregulars in a campy western romp about a band of “gay” cowboys in a desolate one-woman town.
		Morrissey's anti-drug comedy continues to amaze with how sharp his non-actors are in improvising dialogue and fashioning unforgettable characters out of themselves.
		The most "Hollywood" of Morrissey's trilogy was shot there and takes on a faded Tinsel Town by presenting the tawdry story of a has-been film star, played by Sylvia Miles, being taken advantage of by a long-haired young stud named Joe, a former child actor and singer looking for a new start.

	Biography
		From then on, Morrissey not only directed all of the films but signed a management contract with Warhol putting him in charge of all operations at the Warhol studio with the exception of the sales of artwork.
		It was Morrissey’s idea that Warhol’s celebrity name be used to promote a rock n’ roll group; to that end, he discovered the Velvet Underground, added Nico to the band and signed them all to a management contract.
		Morrissey went on to pursue financing for his later films, one of the very few American film directors to remain independent of any Hollywood film companies, independent or otherwise.

	Andy Warhol 12: Paul Morrissey
		Paul differed from many of Warhol's cohorts in one big way - he was against the use of recreational drugs.
		Morrissey showed his short films in a small underground cinema he operated from a storefront in 1960 at 36 East 4th Street in the East Village of Manhattan.
		It was while Morrissey and Warhol were filming a scene for The Loves of Ondine in the apartment of sixties journalist John Wilcock that they discovered their next superstar, an 18 year old ex-hustler who had previously served time for car theft in a correctional institute.

	Andy Warhol & Paul Morrissey
		Paul Morrissey had already made some of his own films - some of which are described in Popism.
		Another of Paul's films portrayed "a fifties hustler-type kid with slicked-back hair and close-set eyes reading a comic book slowly, slowly, so he looked semiliterate.” Another one was “a fl and white one shot on machine gun surplus film, the kind they use when planes take movies of enemy territory.
		Paul Morrissey was not paid a salary by Andy, but took 50% of any film profits.

	Images - Paul Morrissey
		Morrissey's next film, the classic Trash (1970), put him on the map, garnering positive reviews from most quarters for its pitiless portrayal of a particular segment of New York street life, and doing it with humor and heart.
		Morrissey plays it all for low-down laughs, brilliantly skewering what today is known as political correctness.
		Morrissey's view of the twilight of Hollywood and its numerous casualties is, like all the films in this group, both mocking and, surprisingly, affecting.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Paul Morrissey
		Morrissey's absurdist bent is sometimes tempered with a surprising poignancy, as in Trash, in Holly's beer-bottle masturbation scene, or in Flesh (1968), when the naked, sleepy Joe is excluded from his wife's newfound lesbian relationship.
		Morrissey's fascination with the extremes of human personality isn't limited to drag queens — another major type consistently featured is the drug addict.
		This is one of Morrissey's specialties — the fine details of a seemingly alien subculture, whether it's the hustlers of Flesh and Trash, a fading European dynasty in Blood for Dracula, or the kiddie Brailizian drug gangs of Mixed Blood.

	Critical Discography - The Smiths
		Where Morrissey is a wielder of the archaic art of the word, his cohorts are merely competent workers in the grimy craft of pop.
		What Morrissey captures above all is a notion of despair reflected perfectly in the lacklustre sound of his cohorts, a death of the punk ideals that Morrissey is quite old enough to have been closely involved in.
		Lead singer Morrissey's memories of heterosexual rejection and subsequent homosexual isolation were bracing in their candor, and Johnny Marr's delicately chiming guitar provided a surprisingly warm and sympathetic setting.

		Paul's first major release was on Chrysalis and he decided to try a different approach.

	The Stockholm Film Festival 1997: Paul Morrissey-Andy Warhol
		Paul Swan was a dancer who was contemporary with and a rival to Isadora Duncan.
		What makes this film so interesting is its combination of extreme theatrical artifice (the Paul Swan recital) and the total lack of any artifice in the intervals of the costume changes.
		It is also a record of a kind of performing art of the early years of the century, but more fascinating being performed in the middle sixties long after it had gone out of fashion.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| Paul Morrissey: Trash
		One is that Morrissey, who came out of Andy Warhol's Factory, is to be praised for imposing vaguely coherent story and fleshed-out character onto this Warholian epic.
		The other is that Morrissey should be censured, if not censored, for ruining the formal integrity of something like Chelsea Girls with conventionally authored and plotted films that were a mixture of prurience and condescension.
		Joe (Dallesandro) and Holly (Woodlawn, a transvestite who told Morrissey she was a Warhol Superstar despite never having met him) live in a basement apartment they furnish with trash from the street.

		Once again, Morrissey draws on the talents of special make effects director Carlo Rambaldi to come up with a splashy ending that was gruesome enough to garner the film an X-rating.
		Once again, Morrissey serves it all up as a giddy little exercise in dark comedy, and it succeeds on that level.
		The performances are satisfactory and serve their purpose, yet it's Morrissey's style that brings these characters to life.

		Paul Morrissey began making underground short films in the early 1960s, and soon became a production assistant for Andy Warhol.
		With Warhol as producer, Morrissey made several outstanding films starring Joe Dallesandro, most notably his early comedies Flesh (1968), Trash (1970), and Heat (1972), and the stylish horror films Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (aka Flesh For Frankenstein [1974]) and Andy Warhol's Dracula (aka Blood For Dracula [1974]).
		Morrissey's major works on his own include his offbeat tales of teenage hustlers (Forty Deuce [1982]) and drug pushers (Mixed Blood [1984]), the historical drama Beethoven's Nephew (1985), and the comedy Spike of Bensonhurst (1988).

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Trash
		It's this moment that captures the texture of the films Paul Morrissey directed for Andy Warhol beginning with his co-direction of Chelsea Girls and giving way to Morrissey's full control of Lonesome Cowboys and the Joe Dallesandro trilogy, of which Trash is undoubtedly the most effective.
		The frazzled, cracked-glass-Cassavetes close-ups Morrissey bequeathed to her talent caught the eye of none other than George Cukor, who started an ultimately unsuccessful petition campaign in support of an Oscar nomination (one that was signed by, among others, Cassavetes player Ben Gazzara).
		Still, on the second page he claims, "I'm not a 'religious Catholic.'" Morrissey's social criticism is hardly as one-note and dour as it's made out to be by those who'd like to cast him as a closet freak/Jansenist smuggling the Good Word into the most prominent non-denominational church of the late-'60s NY art world.

		From director Paul Morrissey who was part of Any Warhol's inner circle.
		It really has no meaning other than to show some of the really silly lines in “Flesh For Frankenstein.” This film was originally the companion piece to Paul Morrissey’s “Blood For Dracula” which was actually more a clever satire on morality more than it actually was on Dracula.
		Paul Morrissey's FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN doesn't belong to neither of these two categories.

		Paul Morrissey's first film in the sensational and erotically charged FLESH, TRASH, HEAT trilogy was a decisive homage to the aesthetic that inspired Warhol's first works.
		Making good on his belief that personality is the crux of any story, Morrissey trains his camera languorously on the minutiae of humanity and its many traits, talents, and downfalls, creating a highly personal insight into the failed lives of his unique characters.
		Theatrical release: 1968 FLESH was the first in a trilogy of films produced by Andy Warhol's Factory that were directed by Paul Morrissey and starred Joe Dallesandro.

	Are Gay Priests Living a Lie? by Paul F. Morrissey, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
		With this in mind, Pope John Paul II’s spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, questioned whether ordinations of gays were even valid: ‘People with these [homosexual] inclinations just cannot be ordained” (The New York Times, 3/3).
		Despite the risk, then, despite our fear and trembling, perhaps this is the moment the Spirit has been groaning toward for centuries—the kairos that begs us to bring our experiences into the light.
		Paul F. Morrissey, O.S.A., is an Augustinian priest and director of the Austin Center for Counseling in New Rochelle, N.Y. He is the author of Let Someone Hold You: The Journey of a Hospice Priest (Crossroad, 1994), which won a Catholic Press Award and the Christopher Award.

		As Andy Warhol's right-hand man, Morrissey emerged from the late art legend's shadow to direct such bizarre counter-culture cult movies as Trash, Heat, Women in Revolt and Blood for Dracula.
		Ironically enough, Morrissey left the film business 12 years ago, saying he couldn't find proper financing and distribution for his independent vision.
		Morrissey now argues he was the brains behind much of Warhol's empire, including Interview magazine and the Velvet Underground, telling me Warhol was simply a "cipher--he was a nice enough man but he wasn't very organized.
