Reply #6: Technical advisor boasted of having programmed Sirhan Sirhan.

[Minstrel Boy]

Dr William Joseph Bryan Jr liked to brag about famous jobs he'd taken on for police departments and the CIA. For instance, he boasted to prostitutes about having hypnotized Albert Di Salvo, the convicted Boston Strangler, while Di Salvo was in custody. He also spoke about having worked with Sirhan. It didn't mean anything to the hookers, but the thing is, he never had access to Sirhan in custody. And here's a funny thing: in Sirhan's notebook of "automatic writing," the name "Di Salvo" is scribbled, though Sirhan claims to not recognize it. Perhaps Bryan couldn't keep from boasting of his past accomplishments, even with Sirhan under hypnosis. (More info in Turner and Christian's The Assassination of Robert F Kennedy.)


Anyway, the original film is untouchable.

I'll never tire of watching it. Just picked it up a couple of weeks ago on DVD.
