„The movie is faithful to the source material, namely a book of the same name. Th story is a true tale of a man who was the king of a county in rural Georgia in the latee 1940's. The trial aspect of the film raises the question of whether a man can be tried for capital murder without a body. True, this is not bizarre in today's world but it was 50 years ago.“

Amazon.com: Gourmet Food: Espresso Pods - 18 single pods
„This is good expresso if you have an espresso machine that accepts paper pods. Not my favorite brand (my fave is Illy for espresso), but as with any food or beverage, taste is subjective--so if you purchase this, I hope you enjoy a good cup. I enjoyed mine.“
