Many people didn't find this film too appealing - especially Scotty Crane, and I can see his point of view, and I would be upset as well if my brother turned his back on the family - BUT, Scotty had a pretty unsettling website of his father up for a while and was trying to locate a publisher for a coffee table book of his dad's photographic trists...so, my point is that it looks like everybody was trying to make a buck here. Regardless, I'm sure Bob was a great father and had some issues with the women - and I'm sure Carpenter didn't help it out. The film is decent and offers insight the public never knew about. If you want to see the film because you want a cutsie portrayal of Bob Crane and his Hogan's Heroes days, you're in for a surprise, but the CD rocks with old classic songs and even a few remakes that are remarkable...Geeze, you can buy this CD for a penny, so go for it.

I read this other guys review, and he gets into the suspicion of Carpenter and such. I will say if someone looked at all the evidence through public record (which I did) they would see there is little evidence but circumstantial and even there the motive is missing save a theory that is not proven about an alleged "break up". The soundtrack is good but lacks any movie tie in. Many times movie soundbites are added into soundtracks or scores, here save one score and no soundbites. Unfortuneatly the score of Cranes murder is not on here. Which I thought was very good. The soundtrack is still good but anyone who has read on Crane knows he was a jazz and big band fan, the 70's rock songs on the soundtrack don't mix with the true story of Crane. Its good, but does not mirror the man and story.
