★★★ · My Dad worked on this · thebigsee · 2022-07-12
My Dad was an Art Director for Calvin at this time. He was in charge of putting together the sets and props. The drawing that gets coffee spilled all over it definitely one of his drawings, and the tall paintings of Shakespearean caricatures hanging in the ladie's lounge hung in our front entryway of our house for years and currently are hanging in my sister's house! My Dad worked with the director Robert Altman and film editor Lou Lombardo at Calvin. They were good friends.
