Sandel "Sandy" Frank (b.1927 in White Plains, NY) is a television producer and distributor. He began working for Paramount Pictures during the 1950s, but struck out on his own in 1964 to start a program syndication company. He is best known for importing and redubbing 1960s and 1970s Japanese-styled sci-fi programs and films, such as Gamera and Battle of the Planets, for distribution in the American market. His Gamera films were shown during the 1990s on Mystery Science Theater 3000. In several episodes, the mockery of the films extended to Frank himself and an unconfirmed rumor says he responded by refusing to renew distribution rights for any episode featuring one of his films. Sandy Frank lives in Manhattan.
As well as Japanese imports, Sandy Frank is known in game show circles for distributing the 1984 version of Name That Tune and Face The Music from 1980-81.
As of April 2006, the Sandy Frank Entertainment website was terminated.
