Master Sergeant Schultz was played by John Banner (born Johann Banner in Vienna Austria), emigrated after Hitler annexed Austria in 1938, joined the US Army Air Corps in 1942 as a supply sergeant and served for the rest of the war, through 1945.
The film ‘Auto Focus’ is a truly creepy film. I recommend it for its portrayal of the seedy side of Crane’s life. I saw it in the cineplex and remember at one point I gasped out loud and was sitting there with my hand over my mouth, totally in shock. There’s also a paperback that was published as a tie-in with the book and it was a very good read.
