The film by Ted Timreck features Edward Field in With Dunstan Thompson at the 1-2-3.

Edward Field decided to become a poet when he was a young man just out of basic training. He served in World War II as a navigator on bombing missions in Europe, and after the war, briefly assayed an acting career—while also working as a typist. Meanwhile the poet in him blossomed, and in 1963, Grove Press published Field’s first poetry collection, Stand Up, Friend, with Me. Since then, his many published works have included the poetry collections Variety Photoplays (1967), A Full Heart (1977), New and Selected Poems, From the Book of My Life (1987), Counting Myself Lucky (1992), and After the Fall (2007).
