VIDEO: RUDY WISSLER'S 15 MINUTES

Young Rudy Wissler loaned his voice to Scotty Beckett who played Al Jolson as a young boy in THE JOLSON STORY (1946). At that time, Rudy's wonderful work remained uncredited as the studio did not want dubbing artists to be recognized  - a common practice at the time.

We met Rudy in Philadelphia in 2006, shortly after we had started to work on our upcoming documentary ON THE ROAD TO AL JOLSON.

Rudy was a sweet man with a wonderful voice as you can hear in our short trailer.If you'd like a copy of the film, please visit our website.

ROBIN WILLIAMS in BOULEVARD

I created FLAp Podcast, a film, literature and art podcast, in September of 2015. We will publish discussions on various topics of these fields as video podcast episodes and invite all of you to be part of it. Is there anything you are interested in, anything you would like to talk about with someone? Then get in touch with us. The only "rule" is that the topic must fit in the categories of film, literature or art.

In October 2015 we published our first FLAp Podcast episode. I discussed ROBIN WILLIAMS' performance in his last dramatic film BOULEVARD, as well as the performance of the rest of the main cast; I also focused on the story and the cinematography. Enjoy the review and the film clips. Make sure to also check out the second FLAp Podcast episode, in which co-host Jens and I take a look at further aspects of the movie.
