Lisa Hurwitz - Director Of "The Automat", Documentary About Horn And Hardardt. Featuring Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Colin Powell And Elliott Gould!

<p><strong>Lisa Hurwitz is the director of a wonderful, sentimental, new documentary called “The Automat”, which features an all-star cast including Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Colin Powell and Elliott Gould. The movie is all about Horn And Hardardt, which for a time was the biggest restaurant chain in the United States. They operated automats - elegant, atmospheric restaurants where customers deposited nickels into little slots and a window would open containing delicious food and drink. “The Automat” captures this chain and this era perfectly.</strong><br /><br /><strong>The featured song in this episode is “At The Automat”, written and performed by Mel Brooks.
