Realistic Actual Event
I liked this movie because it was about an event with which I was familiar, having grown up in this area. It was covered well, and extremely realistic.

Excellent Film
I had to do an extensive search to find this title and had to wait a few months before the film arrived. Great movie--a true story. Well worth the time and money to add this classic movie to my collection. Thanks again Zeus for keeping me updated about when the title would be available. I will order from your company again--that is for sure. With gratitude, MC
