Summary

Released in 1993, The November Men tells the story of Arthur Gwenlyn (director Paul Williams), a filmmaker who gets the idea of crafting a film around the very real assassination of George H. W. Bush. He enlists his partner and production manager, Elizabeth (Leslie Bevis), and his friend and technical advisor Vincent Duggo (screenwriter James Andronica).

Andras Jones and Paul Cronin join Mike to discuss this under-seen film while filmmaker and provocateur Paul Williams discusses his career and his book, Harvard, Hollywood, Hitmen, and Holy Men: A Memoir.
