Anecdotes

Fatso is a 1980 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Anne Bancroft, her only such credit, and starring Dom DeLuise, Ron Carey and Candice Azzara. The film examines the subject matter of obesity, addiction, family, self-acceptance, and singlehood. It is also noteworthy for Brianne Murphy becoming the first woman to be credited as a cinematographer on a studio film.

Production

The film was announced in February 1979, with Anne Bancroft set to make her directorial debut (making her just one of ten working women directors at the time). The film is also noteworthy for Brianne Murphy becoming the first female cinematographer of a theatrically-released studio film. It was also the first film produced by Brooksfilms, the production company run by Bancroft's husband, Mel Brooks.

Filming took place for seven weeks in Los Angeles, beginning that April, before moving to New York City and completing photography on May 29.
