This movie involved one of my ancestors on my father's side of the family, Mary Phagan. Back in the 70's my uncle, Leo Phagan, had been researching our family tree and had learned about what happened to Mary Phagan. He shared the information with me and I thought it was a bizarre, yet fascinating story and was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually made a movie about it. Unfortunately, our family has no other claim to fame. It is a great movie with excellent acting and I would recommend it to anyone. I also agree with the previous reviewer that it would be an excellent movie to show in school to a history or sociology class. Hope you enjoy it.
