Tavel doesn't ring quite like Edie or Nico or Paul America, but one could say that the multitalented playwright gave Warhol his voice. A guiding, avant-garde light in the Theater of the Ridiculous, Tavel is celebrated in this series for his hep, tangential, brined-in-wit scripts. Of the ten Warhol titles on queue (there's also Arthur Lubin's White Savage, starring the "perfect filmic appositeness" that is Maria Montez), the musts include Harlot and its banana mania, Hedy's Velvet Underground soundtrack, Vinyl's S&M take on A Clockwork Orange, and, of course, the dual-screen beauty of Chelsea Girls.
