Who knew that Paul Schrader (the king of sleazy screenplays & films) had a lighter side to him?ehehe LOL! Yes, I finally caught "Auto Focus," the feature bio on the life & times of Bob Crane (Hogan's Heroes). A light-hearted look on Crane's sexually obsessed life, which ultimately led to his death. I was expecting to see a grittier portrayal, but instead, Schrader layed on the sleaze in a fairly tame fashion. I assume he wanted to mesh the comedic elements of Crane's professional life, with that of the film. While not Academy Award material, it still made for a highly enjoyable film. Greg Kinnear (I still have a hard time accepting him as an actor - I prefer to think of him as the one-time host of E!'s Talk Soup!ehe) gave a convincing performance as Crane. Willem Dafoe was equally memorable as his slimy co-hort/videographer. Those of us who are avid admirers of voyeurism and/or erotica, owe this man a great deal!ehe A man who was years ahead of his time. In its most earliest of stages, Crane was one of the first to indirectly mesh the advent of video with sexuality. -D, NYC "The first sex symbol in movie history was Jewish - THEDA BARA (b.
