Excerpts from the mom tapes [videorecording] / Ilene Segalove. [1978?]

Considered one of Segalove's signature works, The Mom Tapes (1974-1978) is a series of short pieces about Segalove's mother, Elaine. Half scripted, half improvised, they feature mother and daughter in witty, self-satirizing skits about personal and mundane aspects of everyday life. The cumulative result is a poignant and whimsically funny portrait of a mother-daughter relationship.

1 videocassette of 1 (U-Matic) (19 min.) ; 3/4 in. original.
