content: Experimental film based on the poem "Holy Sonnet X" (also known as "Death, Be Not Proud") by John Donne. Prelorán wrote: "Edited as a sonata in three movements, the film shows the terror of a soldier upon the battle field." The solider is portrayed by actor Tom Skerrit. Cinematography is by Columbian filmmaker and fellow UCLA student Julio Luzardo. This film was presented as Prelorán's thesis project at UCLA in 1961. The HSFA holds three versions of this film.
