The Trivia Hound

520. U.S., 1936

Jim got #519!

Right; though some questions remain as to his guilt.

Didn't Sir Anthony Hopkins play Hauptmann in a movie early in his career ? I don't remember the name now.

You have a good memory. It was The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case, a made-for-TV movie in 1976.
