One of several colloborations between Lee Hazlewood and director Torbjörn Axelman, this concept film features all of the songs that appeared on Hazlewood’s album Requiem For An Almost Lady plus some additional tunes. It was made in 1971 for Swedish television.

I’m Glad I Never
If It’s Monday Morning
Won’t You Tell Your Dreams
I’ll Live Yesterdays
Little Miss Sunshine (Little Miss Rain)
Stone Lost Child
Come On Home To Me
Must Have Been Something I Loved
I’d Rather Be Your Enemy

With The Hazlewood Kids: “(Let’s take a walk) Down Valhallavägen.” Sven-Bertil Taube sings the Lee Hazlewood composition “Why do they bother.”

Requiem For An Almost Lady is some kind of melancholic masterpiece, a love letter drenched in Lithium-laced tears. The film’s wintry setting adds to the overall sense of rock bottom heartbreak.
