Hogan's Heroes Behind the Scenes with Star Robert Clary!

Описание: Hogan's Heroes star Robert Clary (Corporal LeBeau) shares the behind-the-scenes story of the making of the classic 1965 World War II CBS TV sitcom with TV Time Machine host Jim Benson.

Set in a World War II POW camp, Hogan's Heroes was one of Telelvision's earliest ensemble situation comedies and followed the exploits of Colonel Robert Hogan, an ingenious leader of a group of allied soldiers imprisoned in a German POW camp, Stalag 13.

Unbeknownst to their jailers, the Allied prisoners use their prison camp as a base of operations to carry out acts of sabotage, espionage, and other military operations against the enemy, Nazi Germany.

Produced by Edward Feldman and featuring 34 epsiodes directed by Gene Reynolds who also produced and directed another classic ensemble TV series, MASH, Hogan's Heroes featured sterling writing and an outstanding cast: Bob Crane (Colonel Hogan), Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink), John Banner (Sergeant Schultz), Richard Dawson (Corporal Newkirk), Larry Hovis (Sergeant Carter) and Ivan Dixon as Sergeant Kinchloe.

Robert Clary played the only French character in the cast, Corporal LeBeau. LeBeau was a short, feisty Frenchman, gourmet chef, and the expert in charge of the prisoners' extensive series of tunnels beneath the camp.

In this interview, Robert Clary takes us behind the scenes and reveals what it was like to co-star in one of televison's classic situation comedies--Hogan's Heroes!
