Benno Fontana

A producer who collabortated with director Otto Grahn to film an adaptation of The Santana March. During fiming, there was a man claiming to be Lewis Looper, V. M. Straka's literary agent. Fontana said that when he asked Looper questions about the work or any of Straka's books he had nothing sensible to say and doubted that he had any connection to Straka at all. Fontana and others speculated that Looper was simply a con man using Straka's celebrity and works for money and attention.

There is a letter written to him, signed by V. M. Straka. Fontana in his memoir says that Hollywood kept its distance from Straka's works.
