Allen Funt's 'Mr. Candid Camera' documentary will release this August.
Popular media producer Shout! Factory will release a Digital version of the Allen Funt Documentary, Mister Candid Camera, reports Deadline. The film details the story of the mastermind behind the creation of classic secret prank television series, Candid Camera. It is expected to debut on major streaming platforms, such as Apple TV, GooglePlay, Amazon, Youtube, and more on August 2.
Though it started as a radio show called The Candid Microphone, Candid Camera would find its niche as a hidden camera prank show which aired in 1948. It consisted of a hidden camera recording ordinary people in unexpectedly strange circumstances that resulted in hilarious reactions from both the person and the audience.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The show's creator, Funt, got his start in radio working as a writer for a radio show called Truth or Consequences and helping first lady Eleanor Roosevelt with her radio commentaries. He moved on to television with Candid Camera and the more adult themed documentaries, like Money Talks and What Do You Say to a Naked Lady?, the latter of which was X-rated.
The film was produced by Brian Courrejou and edited by Bob Franco. In other news, Shout! Factory has also acquired the rights in the United States and Canada to the entire Candid Camera television library. So, I’m sure fans can look forward to more related content from Shout! Factory in the future. The classic television series even has its own official Youtube channel where it showcases segments of its hilarious pranks.
