Sanderson "Sandy" Frank (birthdate unknown) 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 bringing 1960s and 1970s Japanese-styled sci-fi programs and films, such as Gamera and Battle of the Planets, into the American mainstream. His Gamera films were shown during the 1990s on Mystery Science Theater 3000. After allegedly being incensed at the farcical treatment of his films (more probably by his farcical treatment in "the Sandy Frank Song"), he refused to renew their distribution rights. Sandy Frank lives in Huntington Beach, California.
