About
I have been a Television Producer Director writer since the golden years of television. After 10 years at ABC I went in in the kid show business with Pip the Piper (3 years on ABC), Magic Midway on NBC and with Marx toys The Little People. A nationally syndicated local show. In the early sixties Allen Funt hired me to direct Candid Camera, Sunday nights on CBS. I worked for him for three years then partnered with Marvin Sugarman in MHS Productions in the network and syndicated sports television business. We did college football highlights with the NCAA Sundays on ABC, Bowling Champions, seven years the top rated sports series, then with the AAU we produced The CBS Sport Spectacular for 28 years. Marvin died three years ago and I retired. For years I told stories about Candid Camera and Allen Funt, Marvin would say "Write the book1" So I have written the book, The Flying Phone Booth." It's a Kindle eBook and a paperback on Amazon. So now I have to market it. And I'm here!
Story Behind The Book
I was Director Producer of Candid Camera for three years. In the mid sixties I left to join Marvin H. Sugarman in his sports television business. Over the years we were together I told him stories about my Candid Camera days, he would say, "Louie, write the book." So, when Marvin was called to the great TV Network in the sky I wrote the book. Come back to the sixties and meet Mr. Candid Camera himself, Allen Funt and discover the laughs, the sweat, the pain it takes to produce a comedy show when the boss changes his personality every day!
