		To summarize the film, in 1993 Miss Brockovich, a legal assistant with the Los Angeles area firm of Masry & Vittitoe, began lining up about 650 current or past residents of the tiny Southern California desert town of Hinkley.

	DVD review of And Then There Were None (VCI) - DVD Town
		In 1993, audiences were flummoxed by the fact that the filmmakers of "The Firm" had changed the ending of John Grisham’s novel.
		This sort of thing happened close to 50 years before "The Firm" with "And Then There Were None." The film not only departs from the source novel in the way that it concludes, but it also amps up the blooming relationship between the two most attractive characters in the novel.
		This film is a good lesson on how an ensemble cast is supposed to act: without vanity and with respect towards one another’s contributions to a film’s final impact.

	The New York Times > Movies > Michael Moore Is Ready for His Close-Up
		"We have gone through every single word of this film — literally every word — and verified its accuracy," said Joanne Doroshow, a public interest lawyer and filmmaker who shared in a 1993 Oscar for documentaries and who joined the fact-checking effort last month.
		Moore is on firm ground in arguing that the Bushes, like many prominent Texas families with oil interests, have profited handsomely from their relationships with prominent Saudis, including members of the royal family and of the large and fabulously wealthy bin Laden clan, which has insisted it long ago disowned Osama.
		Doroshow is responsible for preparing what she calls a "fact-checking bible," with material ranging from newspaper and magazine articles to copies of the Federal Register, that will allow the film's lawyers and publicists to provide backup for its allegations.

		Grisham spent one year on the team at Northwest Mississippi Junior College in nearby Senatobia.

	Cinematographer Robert Mclachlan
		Supporting his claim that sweeping grandeur isn't always necessary for recognition, McLachlan took home the 1993 CSC award in the feature film category for Impolite, a Canadian project whose indie-size budget (less than $1 million) seemed laughable compared to the higher-profile films against which it competed.
		Though he is part of a profession that rewards uniqueness and celebrates individuality, McLachlan stays firm within his belief that the best cinematography is the most unobtrusive cinematography.
		McLachlan also admits that upcoming changes in the series' structural technique will affect the show's much-heralded appearance.
