Bonus Episode: Interview with Charles Dennis (RENO AND THE DOC, COVERGIRL, HARD FOUR)

We kick off our new Monday release schedule with an interview with Writer, Director, and Actor, Charles Dennis.  As many of you #NWPPVIPs know, we love 1983's COVERGIRL and were thrilled to have a chance to talk with Charles about the movie. Did you know the director shot a separate film within the film?  We sure didn't.

Charles shares with us how he got his start in radio and the theater as a child.  He shares how he befriended Anthony Perkins.  He talks about his early films including 1974's THE THIRSTY DEAD (how was this not a New World Pictures movie?!), 1979's MIRROR MIRROR, and 1980's DOUBLE NEGATIVE.   

We also talk about his book, There's a Body in the Window Seat!: The History of Arsenic and Old Lace (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/theres-a-body-in-the-window-seat-charles-dennis/1140132407).  It's an incredible history of the film and serves as a great companion to his audio commentary on the Criterion Collection Blu-Ray.  Go pick up a copy on Amazon or wherever you find books.

Finally, we also talk about the making of RENO AND THE DOC and the theme, "A Little Piece of Forever".  Dammit.  Now I have that song stuck in my head.
