Not Welles's best, but worth watching.

This movie was ok…Orsen Wells is hard to take your eyes off of

Welles' story was a warning, considering that several Nazis hid in the US, many higher level ones were outed sooner because of the higher positions and connections they sought. But today it rrings true more than ever given the Heritage Foundation ties to known Nazi sympathizers and getting into bed with the Dixiecrats in the early 1970s. The idea that a racist sycophant simply murders his only buddy in the world, a guy who comes to him for help and to believe in repenting, only to murder him because he has no plan of changing. If the way people who are so ingrained into a superiority complex think. His ends justify all means. Now imagine that Welles took this story from one from the headlines, not a SCOTUS justice, but a judge in small town in the American heartland. We have real issues from the wolves who came here only to eventually end the USA. One a more substantial consideration that was simply "fact" in the 1940-50s version of women? A woman who refuses to tell the truth to protect her man. Seems implausible to us now but look at Sarah Ferguson, Hilary Clinton, Tammy Faye Baker, etc. Complicit or stupid or in denial? We have been groomed to believe that's supposed to be women for centuries, little more than hysteria looking to happen. At the time the movie was made, it was really an 8.2/10, maybe better, but here and now? 6.8/10. If only we could learn our lessons from the past and not keep repeating them.

I'd heard good things about it, and they don't even begin to do it justice—it's well-told and well-acted.
