""'...no lies' presents itself as a cinema vérité documentary. A film student interviews a friend to fulfill a class assignment. Shot in one day at Park Avenue and 33rd Street in New York, at the home of filmmaker Muffie Mayer, the film features cameraman Alex [sic] Hirschfeld and actress Shelby Leverington. It was made by Mitchell Block as his MFA thesis at NYU School of the Arts, Institute of Film and Television, Graduate Division, in 1972." -- Container."

""Speeding? is a short film for driver's educational classes on speeding and is still widely used. Again, Alec Hirschfeld is the cameraman and Block populates the film with actors from television and Hollywood films...and gives directors Martin Brest and Stephen Verona rare onscreen appearances. The Corona, California traffic unit and the California Highway Patrol provide the film with the reality of working traffic officers." -- Container."
"This story of a rape presented in cinema verité style effectively uses our assumptions about both documentary film and the passive nature of film viewing to turn the tables on the film's audience. The experience of watching this film is unsettling as we observe the victim's boyfriend question the motivations and decisions that led up to the rape. No Lies was inspired by Alan and Susan Raymond's An American Family, a documentary television series where the filmmakers had a significant impact on the day to day lives of their subjects. Mitchell Block went on to make a sequel to No Lies entitled Speeding, a film where he again mixed fiction and documentary filmmaking techniques. Shelby Leverington went on to an extensive career in television, working on shows such as Matlock, ER, and Tales From The Crypt."@en
"A dramatization exploring the concept of rape as an assault on the body and mind. In the process of questioning a young woman about her recent experience with rape, a filmmaker strips her of her defenses. In a sense, a triple rape has been perpetrated: the actual incident, abusive treatment by police, and the probing of the camera itself."
