A bunch of words start scrolling up on the screen.I can save you a couple hours of your time and tell you how it ends...
I enjoyed it...... different take on the story we've all seen before. Definitely worth a watch.It's on Netflix now..... just started it.
I have been in Melvin Purvis' home in Florence. He spoke to our school once. He was an attorney and owned the radio station in Florence. He was about 5 foot six inches 135 pounds. I dated his niece Lynn Purvis in Jr. High School. He had one son that had substance abuse problems and sold A LOT of his Dad's stuff. Including 4 Colt SAAs , 2 matched pair, engraved with Ivory and Pearl grips on the 2 pair. A friend of mine bought them for $1,000 in about 1978. Only Heaven knows where they are today.
His niece once told me that he slept in a different room of the house every night. Never did know if he was hiding from the Gangsters or Hoover.
Considering his murder was never solved it wasn't enough.I have been in Melvin Purvis' home in Florence. He spoke to our school once. He was an attorney and owned the radio station in Florence.

If anyone hasn't heard the story of Melvin Purvis that would be a good read.
I saw a documentary on this once. The coroner declared it a murder then the FBI came in and "investigated" declaring it a suicide.His murder? Never heard it called anything other than an accident or possibly a suicide
