Actually, I don’t think most of what was done was all that creepy. Guy killed his daughter. People have a right to vengeance.

Though they should have checked to make sure Sweeney was still in that apartment….

Hi Lisa. All I knew about Dunne is what I read years ago in A Wealth of Evil by Timothy Dumas. He came across as someone with a noble impulse (challenge the powerful) who tried to shoehorn everything he comes across into that template. The huge errors you acknowledge may make it more difficult for others with the same impulse to be taken seriously. Having a big heart ain’t enough.

Dunne’s quite a character and led a fascinating life long before the murder of his daughter changed him utterly.

He was, for instance, the model for the “Is he straight or isn’t he?” interloper in The Boys in the Band. He was a friend of Mart Crowley’s and went on to produce the movie versio9n of the hit play.

In June, 2009, it was announced that Dimension Films was working with producers Sean and Bryan Furst on a remake of the film.
