Title: A superb film about about a hero
Review: Since it has been and remains so popular to paint the CIA as some renagade agency bent on taking over the country and guilty of assassinating anyone who disagrees with them, it is wonderful to find a film that provides real history and insight into the CIA and one of it's great leaders. I have been a fan of William Colby since the 70's when he demonstrated honesty along with courtesy and professionalism par excellence in his testamony before the Church Committee hearings. During those hearings when many were simply on a witch hunt and looking to make a vain glorious name for themselves, Mr Colby's testamony was nothing short of superb. His autobiography reveals a man who was dedicated to his country and to freedom and democracy. This film is a grand history lesson and, contrary to another reviewer, provides insight into Colby as a man and not just as a spy. Carl Colby has honoured his father and his father's work with this film. I look forward to the book.
