This is a book my wife got me for Xmas, but I have seen documentaries on TV on both subjects...you couldn't make them up!

Earnest Botello Loc: Hockley, Texas

I watched it and thought it was a great movie.

Some oldies that are available on the streaming networks: One-Eyed Jacks starring Marlon Brando and Karl Malden. A classic movie with great plot, character development, cinematography. Blood Simple made by the Cohn Brothers starring Emmett Walsh, Frances McDormand and Dan Hedaya. A dark tale about a bar owner who hires a private detective to follow his wife

Minitman Loc: Centreville, Virginia

Haven't seen that one. It appears to be a remake of "The Man Who Never Was" that starred Clifton Webb

We watched that a week ago. Excellent movie.

My wife and I go to the movies often. Of the movies out right now, I would highly recommend these two:
"Everything Everywhere All At Once" and "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent"
EEAAO stars the female lead in "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". EEAAO is a hoot.
Massive Talent stars Nick Cage in another hilarious movie.

Secondhand Lions is a really great Movie

Fell asleep watching it, but then again most of what I see coming from Hollywood ( meaning the entertainment industry in general) has much the same affect on me.

Thanks. I saw that advertised on Netflix (I think). I'll take a look. I like wartime deception stories. Have you seen "The Man Who Never Was"?

Speaking of deception - that didn't work, the Russians showed a video of an air strike that destroyed a new weapon that was sent by the West. Turns out, it was a composite video. They showed the drone's view of the weapon, and they superimposed videos of explosions over it. I guess they figure they can win a make believe war.

Agree completely! Great story and very well-done film.

It is a good movie - books about the operation have a lot more in them than the movie did. It was only a small part of a larger disinformation campaign. Classified for decades and I'm sure there are still other operations from WWII that are still classified.

"The Man Who Knew Infinity',....based on a true story,....quite a good watch on YouTube with no ads.
