Here is a review from the New York Magazine:
A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory It’s always useful to be reminded – after Ric Burns’s rich and evocative but largely reverent PBS portrait – that Warhol was a perverse little creep who got off on setting acolyte against acolyte and standing back to survey the emotional (and sometimes physical) damage (and, of course, profiting immensely). Esther B. Robinson documents the career of her uncle Danny Williams, an aspiring filmmaker and Warhol’s sometime lover who disappeared in 1966 – perhaps into the ocean off Cape Ann – after being shunned by the downtown freak brigade. Some of the Warhol survivors emerge sane and reflective; others (Paul Morrissey, Williams’s chief rival as resident filmmaker) a mite dodgy. Fascinating stuff. —D.E.
