- AnecdotesDirector Norman J. Warren needed something to show producers he could direct so he made this short on 35mm. He took it to all the independent distributors and independent theatre owners, until a man named Richard Schulman, said he would show it at the London cinema he owned. It just so happened that he was also discussing with an independent distributor by the name of Bachoo Sen, the idea of going into production themselves. Fragments was on the screen while they were talking and as they needed a director, Bachoo Sen said "Why don't we give him a call?" So they called Warren and offered him a directing job. The film ended up being Her Private Hell (1968), which was the first British sex film to tell a story.

Well Made Warren Short About Love, Loneliness, and Suicide
An early black and white film by writer-director and cult horror hero, Norman J Warren. A sad, lonely woman strolls around a wintry London, and stops to stare pensively over a bridge. Will she jump?
She opts not to, and it proves to be a wise decision, as she meets a handsome young man moments later. There's an immediate mutual attraction; the duo spend the day together, cruising around in his convertible, trading smiles, and sipping a pint at a pub. Cut to a quick, dare I say wholesome, love making scene. Conflict arises when the woman spots her newfound object of attraction gallivanting with another woman the following day. I won't spoil the ending, but don't expect a bloody passion killing; Warren was definitely aiming for a more emotionally driven short story with this one.
The film is also driven by its score, a variety of moody orchestral pieces by the composer who did SATAN'S SLAVE. There is no dialogue, only sounds of the city, and Warren uses his camera and performers to tell the story efficiently. It's a straightforward film that touches on themes of depression, suicide, and the power of love in its 11 minute run time. While there's no gore or horror elements, it's a well made curiosity for Warren fans.
Included as a bonus feature on Vinegar Syndrome's 2019 blu for SATAN'S SLAVE (an essential release for fans), sporting a fresh new scan.
