Speaking of Fred Thompson: Movie "Marie"

[Oh Shoot]

Little seen film, Marie (or Marie: The True Story), is on TCM tonight at 10:15.

 

This is the deal about how Ray Blanton was brought down in the parole part of the corruption scandal, with Fred actually playing himself -- he was Marie Ragghianti's, real attorney at the time, and this was how his acting career began.

 

Problem is, I want to see Trump on SNL too.Maybe I'll just catch that with On Demand another time, as I don't see any listings for the movie again anytime soon.

 

I've never seen this flick, but rated 6.7 on IMDB and Ebert gave it three stars:

And a part of TN history.

Gary Gerbitz played himself as well,however he never pursued an acting career after that.

Trying to bone up on his role in the thing, but IMDB shows he was played by actor Leon Rippy?

How you gonna see it?

 

I'd like to see whole thing, as I cut it off to watch Trump on SNL, but wish I hadn't.  It's not available On Demand on Comcast, even as a pay for.
