Bob Crane was another accomplished musician in this excellent cast. He was an excellent drummer, a skill he got to show off on one episode and also on some variety shows in the late 60s. One more thing that needs to be pointed out in this thread. Hogan's Heroes did tell the truth about one thing that the media, and even the Supreme Court, can't get right these days, the Geneva Conventions. It was often pointed out that they were at risk for being summarily shot for their undercover activities if the Germans ever caught them. As saboteurs in civilian or even fake German uniforms that is exactly what they would and should have gotten had the Germans strictly followed the rules. Just like all the folks at Gitmo.

A Paul Schrader movie too dark for even me...

Actually, there is a HYSTERICAL dream sequence scene where Crane gets involved in an orgy with Klink and Schultz.
Schrader is quite the Dutch Reformed moralist, isn't he? Teddy Roosevelt (coreligionist) would have loved him.

Schrader is one of my all time favorite directors/screewriters. I actually really liked Light Sleeper. But Autofocus was really, really dark. A similar movie, Wonderland, came out around the same time. Also very dark.

Wonderland was redeemed by Eric Bogosian as Efra Nasrallah aka Eddie Nash.

Affliction is also really good. But autofocus makes it look like an episode of the Brandy Bunch.

That was Eric Bogosian? Holy crap! I haven't seen him in anything since Talk Radio!
I thought the acting was good all around, but I kept asking myself: Why am I watching this movie?

My captain always got pissed off when I started a murder investigation at a local strip club.

I believe number seven to be true.
Sadly, it's not also the case that at least one member of a set of twins must be good, as I learned by observing the well known financial gurus Tomas and Xamot.

Don't feel bad. The Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman used to do his work at a strip club. He actually testified during the club's obcenity trial.

When I was a kid once in a while I would tune into this show since it was about WWII. My Dad hated that show, and would say this show does not tell the truth of how our POWs were treated by the Germans.
To: dc27
LOL! I use to love that show when I was about 10 years old! LMAO!
To: Sprite518
I was about the same age. They show Dukes of Hazzard on the CMT channel. Funny how Enos always fell for Daisy's disctractions.
A-Team was one of my favorites too.

Oh yes same here! I loved that guy who would say. "I love it when a plan comes together". Oh and of course Mr. T. LOL!

Klink, Berkhalder (sp), and Schultz were all played by Jews. And it was very difficult and heart-wrenching for them to play those parts Was about to mention this. The little french guy apparently had been in a concentration camp when he was young and said he had nightmares about it years later.

As long as you are not wearing tight shorts while doing it...

(Australian) Veterans' Affairs Minister Bruce Billson said that thanks to Hollywood, those in German and Italian prison camps in World War II were wrongly perceived by many as having had a fairly easy time.I find it hard to believe anyone of normal intelligence would think that show was a realistic depiction of what life was like in prisoner of war camps during WWII. People of normal intelligence would also know that how we treat prisoners at Gitmo is WAY better than our soldiers are or have ever been treated.
Of course, liberals are NOT of normal intelligence. LOL
