The Airman and the Carpenter, Kennedy's exploration of the kidnapping and killing of aviator Charles Lindbergh's baby, failed to achieve a similar result in the U.S., but it raised doubts about the culpability of Bruno Hauptmann, who was sent to the electric chair for the crime. The widower of ballet dancer and actress Moira Shearer, Kennedy was an atheist and advocate of voluntary euthanasia. But his passion was probing old cases. "I became...
