Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Researching Yellow Submarine Before Seeing the Movie Again
I found out that the Beatles Yellow Submarine movie will be re-released for theaters this month and will be shown next weekend at the Kew Gardens Cinema. I took a ride to Manhattan to read the book seen above at the Performing Arts Research Library of NYPL at Lincoln Center. Here are some facts that I discovered about the film:
It premiered in the UK on July 17, 1968, thus the re-release is scheduled for the 50th anniversary. I was not released in the USA until November of that year.
Al Brodax was the producer
The Beatles had no role in the production of the film. Their voices were done by actors. They did appear at the very end.
Heinz Edelmann designed the Yellow Submarine for the movie
Erich Segal of Love Story fame was a screenwriter
There were 200 animators but only 10 were considered the creative drive behind the basic design and preparation.
The film was renovated in 1999 and 2012 and re-released in those years.
The original American version did not include Hey Bulldog
