A short blurb from Rhino Video about Candid Camera-Greatest Moments-
Candid Camera, America’s longest-running entertainment series, has been making people smile since 1948. Allen Funt’s simple concept was to catch people “in the act of being themselves”, creating what can be arguably be called the first reality series. Today Peter Funt continues the family tradition, and here he presents a handpicked collection of memorable moments from over five decades of Candid Camera.
The phenomenon that was Candid Camera is here on this disc as a compilation of greatest moments of the show’s long history. Candid Camera actually started out as a radio show called “Candid Microphone” and in the early fifties on TV as “Candid Camera” hosted by the late Allen Funt and later with his son Peter Funt and Suzanne Sommers showed the set up of the practical joke. There’s nothing better than to see a real person’s reaction to a situation. The disc has chapters that span through the years and on different types of candid behavior. It also has celebrities in the action to fool the person such as Woody Allen, Dolly Parton and Mohammad Ali to name a few.
