this film debunks the black socks myth, yes....but it mentions a dozen of other just as embarrassing sordid details. You are too quick to throw away this film as propaganda, just because the dirty truth isn't exactly the one you were hoping for. I think what upsets you more though, is the fact that Spitzer's story is such an engaging study, even with all the upsetting sexual details. Just like a person, the film is not so easily categorized. See it again, without the stick up your a$$ Roger.

Alex Gibney's film on Spitzer is a total propaganda piece designed to whitewash Spitzer and his betrayal of the public trust. Gibney even utilizes an actress to play an "anonymous' prostitute who denies that Spitzer cavorted in black knee socks in the boudoir-----a total Hollywood contrivance. The New York Post confirmed with an FBI source that Spitzer frolicked with call girls in his droopy black hosiery! This movie---like the companion book-- is a totally intellectually dishonest con-job. Spitzer is a 24 carat phoney and a serial law-breaker and hypocrite.
