Hot Dogs for Gauguin

Hot Dogs for Gauguin (1972) is a short student film written and directed by Martin Brest, then an undergraduate at New York University, featuring Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman in her acting debut.

DeVito plays a starving photographer determined to capture fame and fortune. Inspired by the Hindenburg zeppelin disaster of 1937, he conceives a plot to blow up the Statue of Liberty and capture the photograph.

In 2009, it was one of 25 films selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress to "be preserved as cultural, artistic and/or historical treasures." In 2024 it entered the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
