This film is an effective retelling of the tragic event that took place in late November, 1978, in San Francisco's City Hall -- an event that sent the city into turmoil. Using re-enactments of the murders as well as comments from some of the real people who were affected by the tragic deaths, the film gives us a view into the mind of Dan White. Like Lee Harvey Oswald, White was a mixed up and misguided person. Outwardly an "all-American boy," he evidently was incapable of deep thought and self-control.
I found the film a bit like JFK in its elaborate reconstruction of the crime and its foreboding atmosphere. The murders and the suicide are tragedies that play out like something from a Greek drama. This is a surprisingly well-done TV movie.
