Full Plot Details

In 1965, Bob Crane, who had achieved some earlier success as a television supporting actor, was working as a successful morning radio DJ at KNX Los Angeles. Despite enjoying his work, photography (especially of the female form) and drumming, Crane wanted to be a movie star. So it was with some reluctance that he accepted the title starring role in a new television sitcom called Hogan's Heroes (1965), a WWII POW comedy. To his surprise, the show became a hit and catapulted him to television stardom. The fame resulting from the show led to excesses and a meeting with home video salesman and technician John Carpenter, with who he would form a friendship based on their mutual interests, namely excessive sex (for Crane, purely heterosexual sex) and capturing nude females on celluloid. His fame allowed Crane to have as much sex as he wanted, which was incongruent to his somewhat wholesome television friendly image, and the way he portrayed himself to almost everyone except Carpenter and his extramarital sex partners. His sex addiction was somewhat known but ignored by his high school sweetheart/first wife Anne Crane née Terzian, but well known by his second wife, Patti Olson, better known as Sigrid Valdis, his Hogan's Heroes co-star. Especially after the end of Hogan's Heroes in 1971, this incongruence and his friendship with Carpenter, with who he would have a continuing love/hate relationship, would contribute to both his professional and personal downfall.

Movie Reviews

Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob ThomasWatching "Auto Focus" is like watching a man drown while he smiles at you and insists he can breathe seawater.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversMichael Gerbosi's script might have reduced Crane to a clueless cliche were it not for the bruised humanity that Greg Kinnear brings to the role. Kinnear is dynamite.
Premiere Magazine - 10/10 by Glenn KennyAuto Focus is tough stuff, but it's as profoundly resonant as it is immediately disturbing.
Las Vegas Weekly - 10/10 by Josh BellCrane's story is a modern Hollywood tragedy, and Schrader and Kinnear treat it with the utmost respect, creating a film that is both touching and bittersweet.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe film is pitch-perfect in its decor, music, clothes, cars, language and values. It takes place during those heady years between the introduction of the Pill and the specter of AIDS, when men shaped as adolescents by Playboy in the 1950s now found some of their fantasies within reach.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttWe watch a life fall apart as one could observe an organism under a microscope -- with neither passion nor compassion. It comes awfully close to an exercise in morbidity.
Hot Button - 9/10 by David PolandYou can make movies about losers and you can make movies about winners, but the vanilla middle is only good for Oreos and pudding.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com - 9/10 by Christopher KellyWhile Auto Focus isn't very much fun to watch, it exerts a queasy, powerful hold on us.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 9/10 by Eleanor Ringel CaterSomewhat blurred, but Kinnear's performance is razor sharp.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenIf 'Simone' is a measure of the corruptibility of audiences by celebrities, 'Auto Focus' is a dazzling portrayal of the corruption of a celebrity by his audience.
