 SMASH HIS CAMERA USA | 2010 | 90 minutes DIRECTOR: Leon Gast. CAST: Ron Galella, Floyd Abrams, Dick Cavett, Betty Burke Gallela, Thomas Hoving, Peter Howe, Martin London, Stuart Schlesinger, Paul Schmulback, Liz Smith. "The original kamikaze paparazzo, sued by Jacqui O, punched out by Brando, is the subject of an alarmingly entertaining career portrait by Leon Gast (When We Were Kings)." "Ron Galella has a storied past and still-active present … At 78, Bronx native Galella is as driven as ever, screeching across Manhattan to chase a celebrity tip, sneaking into invite-only events… For years his shameless ingenuity was considered unique, appalling -- and unbeatable… Galella, a cheerful vulgarian whose Sopranos-like Jersey manse features a garden of plastic flora, sees no moral quandary in his work. He's at once conscienceless and innocent, a "parasite" who believes deep down that celebrities really want all the attention, all the time. " -- Dennis Harvey, Variety.
