Great movie. Nice to see an early Frederic Forrest performance.
I remember when this book and the screen play came out. I majored in psychology, but never worked in the field. Iβve often recalled this manβs story and of course, sadly, there are so many stories untold. Thanks so much for providing the opportunity to see this screen play again.
