I first read about Kinsey and his work when I was in grade school, and I stole a book called "Husband and Lover " from my parents bookshelf. In that book I read about the 1-6 scale, with 1 exclusively heterosexual and 6 being "totally gay" as we would say today. Interesting that when I heard adults discuss the scale at the time they were more accepting of it than people are today, where we now have many who don't even believe that male bisexuality exists.

When Kinsey's studies came out it was a much more repressive time (for some people )-homosexuality was illegal and pre marital sex was very taboo. Fast forward to today where gay people are very visible and pre martial sex is the norm. So we are so much more laid back and enlightened ... or are we ?...

They say Kinsey was bisexual , a SHOCKER considering according to his research almost everybody is. There is a scene were he and a coworker are sharing a hotel room and the coworker strips naked to change clothing , and it has a homosexual vibe for many viewers. Problem is ,at that time same sex non sexual nudity was considered nothing. For example, the YMCA was all male and didn't allow bathing suits in the swimming pool, and boys in high school nationwide were required to shower in an open gang shower daily for PE class. If they had a high school pool, they swam naked.

Even if the above hotel room scene in the movie occurred it would'nt have been considered at all sexual at that times They are depicting a man and his research in the 1950s viewed through a 2004 lens . This completely distorts the man and his findings , as sex and nudity were judged entirely differently a half century ago .

Are we more laid back, enlightened and free today ? It depends on who you are. Nudity even in a locker room is becoming taboo, gays can live openly , men can be sued for making an unwanted advance (although the receptivity to which he ultimately has to guess at) and women can do , wear or say whatever they want. Men don't often share hotel rooms anymore either .

The story is about the gal who, as an adult, 20 years after the incident claims she saw her Dad murder her little friend, THEN SHE FORGOT ! ...

I'm not saying repressed memory hasn't ever happened , but if it has it is extremely rare. In this piece from the beginning , everyone from the DA to neighbors to inlaws to the press wanted to believe the narrative SOO BAD " when anything horrible happens blame the adult male in the equation - the older the better.

The filmmakers have a rag tag gaggle of uneducated people (medical wise) who make statements like the DA who says " he answered the door and said "you must have been talking to my daughter " therefore implication - GUILTY !!! There is a huge body of evidence against the man , but each is more ridiculous than the next: He had porno, he had X girlfriends who dissed him, then they dig up some haig who says he tried to strangle her at Disneyland as she gets her 15 min of fame , with us having no idea if it ever happened or not.

The filmmakers have all hear say ,w " nuts and sluts' like out of a ghetto alternative high school but no real evidence at all. I have read that Liz was arrested for prostituion and cocain, yet I dont know if its true as I can't find any details at all on the net. The media protects women from false allegations but not men whom they print all allegations both real and imagined .

In today's world of ambitious DA's and an infotainment complex that is desperate to believe the narrative "man bad, women and child good " that they convicted this man solely on her nutty testimony with no corroborative evidence at all. The poorly made documentary was by these filmmakers that still want to smear George Franklin. They should have said the truth -Is George Franklin a bad man ? Maybe , who knows ? We certainly can't tell by watching this oxygen network type piece.

The quality of filming and acting is OK, and could have had an interesting story w a plane flying from Dubai to London being hijacked , so far so good, but then they have to check every box.... early on you are like "OK, the black guy is the hero, the white male grey pilot is a cheat and coward comp to the female co pilot, the yuppie white guy is lame, et al"

Then in the middle of all this the SUPER HERO single mom. She is running late driving her special needs boy to school, is yelled at by a fat dumb white man boss , but he takes a back seat when she shows up 20 min late and he sees she is figuring everything out. This is a bad influence on young girls, as they watch thinking " hummmmm...I'll mate w a man who won't stick around, be slovenly and tardy to work all the time but that will make me the best and brightest "...PROBLEM , these have no suspense as you can tell every characters character by their age weight and color, and everything is blamed on the adult white men, the older the better. I couldn't finish it.
