Ivan Joseph Hutchinson (11 February 1928 – 7 October 1995) was an Australian film critic, television personality and music director.
Hutchinson was active in the industry for over 30 years, from the early 1960s until the mid-1990s, first on Melbourne-only programs for HSV-7 and later nationwide through the entire Seven Network.
In the early 1970s he appeared alongside film and TV journalist Jim Murphy on Channel 7 in probably Australian TV's first regularly-scheduled evening movie review program entitled “Two on the Aisle”.[1] Hutchinson later moved into the roles of midday and classic movie host and appeared in numerous local film cameos usually playing himself or a critic.
In his last years, Hutchinson was a film columnist for The Sun News-Pictorial and its successor, the Herald Sun.
In addition to his on-air role for Seven, Hutchinson was a studio and session pianist serving as the band leader, arranger and music director for most of the variety shows and specials originating from HSV-7 throughout 1964 to 1994.
