The exhibition, titled “Gloria” and concerning feminist art of the 1970’s, partially inspired by the Cassavetes film of the same name. Evidence of the continuing presence of Cassavetes on the Philadelphia art scene.  By G. Bond

Ryan demonstrates the contemporary view of Cassavetes and his balance between his artistic directing work and his B-movie acting work, “Cassavetes' excuse for incubating is that the money he earns from trash like The Incubus helps pay the bills for his own work as a filmmaker. The price of a Gloria is very high, and he had better make something equally good to atone for slumming through The Incubus.”  By G. Bond

The Philadelphia Daily News, in promoting the first wave of home theater equipment, endorses purchasing the video of Gloria, under the heading of “Sleepers”. Referring to the gangster genre, Baltake says, “Needless to say, Cassavetes turns the genre upside-down. It’s exhilarating!” By G. Bond
