What did folks here think of the Wallace movie on TNT a few years back?
I didn't think it was bad, other than the fact that Wallace had to do the obligatory grovelling at the end and ask for "forgiveness" from all the little darkies.
I also liked the way it showed that Wallace was really an opportunist on segregation, taking a hard line only after a more moderate stance cost him an election.
As I recall, the only controversy came over a scene when one of Wallace's servants contemplates knifing him (purely fictional). That forced production out of Alabama.
