feaito you are correct once again. Congratulations!

Even though the facts may have been twisted a bit it is still an entertaining film with powerful performances by Spencer Tracy and Fredric March.
It is difficult though to imagine that the people of Dayton TN were actually open and hospitable with such subject matter at that time in history.

Bansi/Mongo? What a handle. Actually there was a time I was just Mongo until TCM changed things around when logging on the boards. When I first started I chose some neat screen names which all were rejected (already taken although I've never seen them appear here). At the time I was watching "Blazing Saddles" and was so frustrated I chose the name "Mongo" after a character in the film and lo-and-behold TCM accepted that screen name. I almost fell off my chair. Me Mongo although I pop up as Bansi.
Go figure.

By the way I am crazy about "Lonesome Dove" one of the very best westerns ever made. Although the cast was perfecto I must say that Robert Duvall was outstanding as Gus ****.

Shame on me for overlooking Billy Wilder ("Sunset Boulevard", "Double Indemnity", "The Apartment", Some Like It Hot" etc) and Frank Capra (just give me "It's a Wonderful Life" anyday.
Also George Stevens ("A Place in the Sun","Shane","Penny
Serenade", "Giant" etc).
I'm sure there are lots more that I can list.
