Auto Focus Movie Synopsis

An absorbing glimpse into the colorful life, and mysterious death, of actor Bob Crane. Handsome and charming, Crane became well known as the star of television's hit comedy Hogan's Heroes (1965-1971). Capitalizing on his fame, Crane dove into the freewheeling spirit of the times with relish, having affairs with numerous women. Eventually, Crane teamed up with video technician John Carpenter to document his exploits, an association that may very well have led to his murder in a Scottsdale, Arizona motel room in 1978.

Adapted from the book The Murder of Bob Crane by Robert Graysmith.

I couldn`t watch it to the end... I was not impressed with Crane, which I suppose makes the movie good in a twisted way.

I had never really dug into the story of Bob Crane and found this film to be a great discussion maker and something to allow people to know a little of what transpired prior to his murder. Well done, Paul!

This movie was amazing, way better than the first! Harry Potter`s actor did an amazing job! If you dont see this movie you have no idea what your missing!
