Surratt Courier

[L Verge]

Of course, the movie came out before the book was written, but many of you probably don't know that the "world premiere" (aka "screening") took place in Waldorf, MD, the busiest metropolis with a movie theater near both the Surratt House and the Dr. Mudd House. The audience was composed of volunteers from both of those sites. You should have heard the sighs of disgust, groans, and laughter that emanated inside the theater while the film was running.

Once it was over, the major "review" was that the film should be burned and never shown again. Instead, the company decided to perpetuate its mistakes by writing the accompanying book.
