Day of the Painter

Day of the Painter is a 1960 American short film directed by Robert P. Davis. It was filmed at Mamaroneck Harbor in Mamaroneck, NY.

An extremely funny 15minute film, may be taken as a solemn legpull of the recent vogue for dribbleandsplotch painters, those athletic canvascoverers whose style owes less to Van Goghs brush technique than to Stan Laurels custard pie stance. Or it may be taken as an explicit set of instructions for getting rich.The film, a firsttime effort by three exadmen, begins with a loving shot of wharfs, fishing shacks and sounding seathe sort of vista once sketched avidly by artists and now appreciated chiefly by retired couples who tour Cape Cod in late September. The artist is a burly fellow Ezra Reuben Baker, recognizably aesthetic in paintsmeared dungarees, scurrilous red sweater and combat boots. He trundles a cart filled with paint buckets along a dock, then throws an enormous sheet of wallboard down on a mud flat ten feet below. ........
