After introduction by Felix Frankfurter, Byrne Professor of Administrative Law, Laski emphasized that the author was a Harvard graduate, Conant Vanzetti Morison 2129, Guggenheim fellow, and that the history was his Ph.D. thesis...
...drama built around the after effects of a miscarriage of justice in a situation paralleling the Sacco-Vanzetti case, Winterset starts with a quick outline of a 1920 payroll robbery. Three gangsters - Trock Estrella (Eduardo Ciannelli), Shadow (Stanley Ridges), and Garth Esdras (Paul Guilfoyle) - steal a car that belongs to Bartolomeo Romagna.
