Please welcome to our show the mega-talented writer, producer,
and director Andria
Litto, who joins us to discuss her magnificent documentary, “My
Father Moves
Mountains,” about her dad, George Litto, who represented many of
Hollywood’s top
writers who were black-listed during the McCarthy era and
beyond.
This is a fascinating film, with detailed interviews from actors,
writers, and agents, with
film footage of a time in Hollywood when studios could crush the
careers of actors and
writers, but George Litto wasn’t afraid of them. Instead, he fought
for the rights of
people he thought were unfairly blacklisted, and ended up behind
some of
Hollywood’s most accomplished films from “Mash” and “Midnight
Cowboy.” He later
went on to produce films directed by Brian DePalma. And Andria, his
daughter, had a
front row seat to it all and joins us to talk about it.
Please join our show on #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast,
