Clown (1969)
Remarkable
This simple but deeply moving film made such a lasting impression on the members of our high school creative writing class that we talked about it at our 25th reunion. I hope "Clown" becomes available on dvd; a new generation of students should be exposed to its message.
Death in Small Doses (1957)
I know this movie to be true
This movie is considered a "classic" in my family; my Dad was the agent (brilliantly acted by Peter Graves) on whom the title character was based. Hollywood added a romance but other than that they got the story (based on a series of articles about my Dad in the Saturday Evening Post) right. Some message boards about the movie criticize Chuck Connors for over-acting, but he didn't; that's how it was. This movie is a good reminder of what we owe to a lot of America's unsung heroes who have taken on messy tasks over the years to make America a safer place. Thanks to my Dad and other agents the movie now looks like a dated "period piece" portraying world with which we do not have to be familiar.
