I have not seen this film in many years, but remember being intrigued by the conspiracy theory that was espoused by the film. I suppose that conspiracy theories in general were popular at the time, in the wake of assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK. The one pointing to Stanton does not seem to have gained much credence with serious historians, though the film makes a good case for it... Richard Basehart was appropriately grim and suspicious as the narrator and the documentary style filming gave the narrative an air of credibility that helped "sell" it's theory. I'd love to see it again, if it would be released on DVD or rebroadcast on the History Channel or something....
