The movie, written by David Seltzer, is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the groundbreaking 1973 PBS documentary series An American Family. The series by Oscar-winning doc filmmakers Alan and Susan Raymond centered on Santa Barbara couple Pat Loud (Lane) and Bill Loud (Robbins), who split up during the filming, and their children, the eldest of whom, son Lance, became TV’s first openly gay character.

Media Services owns the follow-up film to “An American Family,” called “American Family Revisited” (VHS 2641) and the very funny Albert Brooks’ spoof, “Real Life” (VHS 4876 or DVD 6108).
