Old Movie Buff

One person's thoughts on some movies.

1988, Mississipi Burning
This movie is about the FBI's desperate attempts to solve a triple murder, perpetrated by Klansmen, who also happened to be the authorities.  The case is broken after the FBI kidnap the Mayor of the town, place him in a shack, and threaten to slice off body parts.  In the movie, the interogator was only ever known as a "specialist."  In real life, the man who did this was actually a mobster hitman from the NYC area. Who OK'ed that? The mayor killed himself, even though he wasn't even a Klansman, nor in on the murder, according to the movie.  I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Hoover's FBI had the Mayor killed, so he wouldn't ever talk about his interrogation.
