« [Betty Roodish Goodwin] did these wonderfully gorgeous paintings of bodies. Whether they were floating or lying on the ground, you always felt like something terrible had happened to them. But they were also so beautiful and [in The Flying Sailor] they were very much an inspiration for the sailor in the sky, just the posing and the slumping and the rounded backs. »
