What happens
Blonde Cobra is a 1963 short film directed by experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs. Footage for the film was shot by Bob Flieshner. The film is meant to be accompanied by the presence of a live radio during the screening. The film's title was derived from two of Jack Smith's favorite movies, Blonde Venus and Cobra Woman. Jacobs once described the film as a "look in on an exploding life, on a man of imagination suffering prefashionable Lower East Side deprivation and consumed with American 1950s, '40s, '30s disgust." The film premiered on a double-bill with Flaming Creatures at midnight on April 29, 1963, at the Bleecker Street Cinema in New York City. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
