Bob Crane (Kinnear) became well known as the star of the hit comedy series "Hogan's Heroes." With an abundance of fame, wealth and success, Crane dove headfirst into the darker, destructive side of the celebrity lifestyle. He eventually teamed up with a video technician (Dafoe) who helped him to systematically document his copious sexploits with beautiful young women. But when the fast living and hard loving got out of control, the end result was a brutal murder that remains one of the most scandalous unsolved mysteries in Hollywood history.

Auto Focus Film Synopsis

A successful TV star during the 1960s, former "Hogan's Heroes" actor Bob Crane projects a wholesome family-man image, but this front masks his persona as a sex addict who records and photographs his many encounters with women, often with the help of his seedy friend, John Henry Carpenter. This biographical drama reveals how Crane's double life takes its toll on him and his family, and ultimately contributes to his death.

Fascinating Story of Destructive TV StarExcellently-acted story of how seemingly great guy Bob Crane’s life fell apart. I thought this movie eerily showed how this charismatic, likable star’s daily routine of sex with a stream of beautiful women became an ugly, repulsive trap, ending in a good person slowly turning into a misogynistic creep, and finally murdered..Score: 4/5

Rent?A great and disturbing film, but I would like to rent not but iTunes..Score: 5/5

Not bad.I saw this movie a long time ago. I'm glad it's on itunes. Bob Crane had a really twisted life style and this film documents it very well..Score: 4/5

Dans les années soixante, Bob Crane est l'animateur vedette d'une émission de radio à succès. C'est aussi un père de famille comblé. Lorsqu'il se voit proposer le rôle principal d'une série humoristique, c'est le début d'une gloire aussi grande que destructrice. Sa célébrité et la rencontre de John Carpenter, un technicien vidéo qui le pousse à développer son obsession de l'image et des femmes. Au cours de sa quête effrénée de plaisir et de sexe, Bob Crane va peu à peu perdre sa famille, ruiner sa carrière et se perdre lui-même...

Italiano
Una star televisiva di successo negli anni '60, l'ex attore di "Hogan's Heroes" Bob Crane proietta un'immagine sana di uomo di famiglia, ma questo fronte maschera il suo personaggio di tossicodipendente che registra e fotografa i suoi numerosi incontri con le donne, spesso con l'aiuto del suo squallido amico, John Henry Carpenter. Questo dramma biografico rivela come la doppia vita di Crane si ripercuota su lui e sulla sua famiglia e alla fine contribuisce alla sua morte.

Radiomoderator Bob Crane erlangt als Titelheld der Serie "Hogan's Heroes" über Nacht Star-Status und verliert dabei den Boden unter den Füßen. Seine Sexsucht und die verhängnisvolle Freundschaft zum zwielichtigen Techniker John Carpenter sind daran schuld, dass der Familienvater beginnt, seine erotischen Phantasien vor laufender Videokamera auszuleben...

Magyar
Ez a döbbenetes történet Amerika egyik legendás televíziós sztárjának, Bob Crane-nek kalandos életét és titokzatos halálát meséli el. Bob Crane (Greg Kinnear) a Hogan hősei című sorozattal futott be a hatvanas években. A hírnév és vagyon mellett Crane belegázolt a sztárság sötét, önpusztító mocsarába is. Barátja, egy különc videotechnikus, John Carpenter (Willem Dafoe) szisztematikusan dokumentálta Crane féktelen orgiáit. Később egyre nehezebb volt kötőféken tartani a vadabbnál vadabb szexuális kicsapongásokat, és Crane kettős élete brutális véget ért. Gyilkosának személyét a mai napig homály fedi.

Español
Ambientada en los años sesenta, narra el éxito y el fracaso del controvertido actor y locutor de radio Bob Crane: por un lado, Bob era para el público el prototipo del padre norteamericano; pero, por otro, era un aficionado a la pornografía y un impenitente mujeriego que fue siempre infiel a sus dos esposas.

עִבְרִית
סרטו של פול שרדר המבוסס על חייו של בוב קריין, מי שהיה כוכב טלויזיה גדול בשנות ה-60 בעקבות השתתפותו בסדרה "הוגנס הירוז" (הגיבורים של הוגאן). הסרט מתמקד בסיפור הידידות המעוותת בין קריין לבין ג’’’’ון קרפנטר, סוכן של מערכות אודיו, ועיסוקם האובססיבי וההרסני במין הנשי על כל גווניו.

Dansk
Bob Crane spillede sidst i 60'erne og i begyndelsen af 70'erne Robert Hogan i den pæne og artige sitcom 'Hogan's Heroes'. Men om natten slog han sig sammen med partyvennen John Carpenter løs med masser af sex. Han var erklæret swinger og optog gerne løjerne på video. Indtil han i 1978 brutalt blev slået ihjel.

български език
Сега малко хора си спомнят този актьор, но е имало време, когато името на Боб Крейн е гърмяло по цяла Америка. През 60-70-те години на XX век, той е звездата на хитовото комично шоу "Героите на Хоган" и се радва на голям успех. Въпреки това, дори и по времето на пика на славата си, малко хора са знаели, че красавеца Боб е водел двойствен живот, за който разказва този филм. Под маската на мъжкар се е криел сексуално извратен мъж, който е снимал с помощта на приятеля си изящни еротични игри с участието на прекрасни момичета. Неговият частен живот си останал забулен в тайна, в тайна и мистерия се превърнала и неговата смърт през 1979 година, когато актьора е намерен убит. Убиецът не е разкрит и досега.

Pусский
Сейчас мало кто помнит этого актера, но было время, когда имя Боба Крейна гремело на всю Америку. В 60-70-х годах ХХ века он был звездой сверхпопулярного комического шоу «Герои Хогана» и пользовался большим успехом. Однако даже на пике его известности мало кто знал, что красавец Боб вел двойную жизнь, о которой и повествует этот фильм. Под маской рубахи-парня таился сексуально одержимый человек, устраивавший при помощи своего приятеля, снимавшего происходящее на камеру, изысканные эротические игрища с участием роскошных девочек. Тайной была его частная жизнь, тайной стала и смерть: в 1978 году Крейна нашли убитым. Убийца не найден до сих пор…

Český
Předlohou pro film byl skutečný příběh Roberta Edwarda Cranea (1928-1978), který začínal jako bubeník a který se přes kariéru v rádiu dostal k herectví. Jeho posedlost po erotických zážitcích a sexuálních hrátkách mu poškodila pověst, narušila osobnost a zřejmě se stala i příčinou jeho násilné a nikdy neobjasněné smrti. Snímek je varovným příběhem o zhoubném vlivu popularity na ukojení nezřízeného chtíče i o tom, jak zničující může být setkání s nesprávným člověkem. Tomu ostatně odpovídá i barevné ladění filmu. Od počátečních jasných a optimistických barev přes temnější a kontrastnější prostředí striptýzových klubů až k poslední scéně, kdy filmaři použili speciální odbarvovací efekt. Pro současného diváka jsou zajímavé ukázky autentické dobové videotechniky, včetně prvního barevného projektoru Sony. Film usiluje o realistický obraz rozporuplné Craneovy osobnosti, k čemuž mohlo pomoci i to, že se režisér radil s hercovým synem Bobem.
