Author! Author! was released in 1982. It is an autobiographical film written by playwright Israel Horovitz (The Indian Wants the Bronx) and directed by Arthur Hiller (The Out-of-Towners). It starred Al Pacino as Ivan Trevalian, a playwright trying to fix his play on Broadway while also looking after his five children after his girlfriend leaves him. It's a comedy of errors mixed with a bit of romance that saw Pacino finally do some comedy.

In a World Exclusive, ex-actor Elva Josephson (The Blue Lagoon) joins the podcast to talk, for the first time ever!, about appearing opposite Pacino as one of his daughters - Bonnie - in the film. Josephson talks about how she was cast, why she enjoyed working with the other kids and how Pacino reacted when they had to stage a huge food fight.

All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, presented and produced by Mark Searby.
