An incomprehensible, slapdash film that looks as if it was edited with a meat cleaver. Scenes end for no reason, others appear almost out of context, and I am still waiting for a believable character to appear!
Medgar Evers might have been forgotten if not for Rob Reiner's ambitious but flawed "Ghosts Of Mississippi." But if one were just to watch that film, one would only know Evers as a dead martyr with a brave widow (Myrlie Evers-Williams), a determined newspaper reporter (Jerry Mitchell) and a brilliant lawyer (Bobby DeLaughter) seeking to bring his killer to justice. However you would not know much about who Medgar Evers was or what he tried to do.
This very earnest film begins and ends with Irene Cara's dramatic reading of Myrlie Evers' words. In between, patient viewers are rewarded with a moving portrait of a determined, dedicated, and doomed man whose life was spent in a noble cause.
Don't expect big stars or flashy production values. Just watch and be absorbed into the life of a great man. THEN watch ""Ghosts Of Missippi!"

The first fifteen minutes of this offbeat lunacy seems as if it was the grandfather of AIRPLANE, HOT SHOTS, THE NAKED GUN, and other wild comedies. The story behind it is fascinating as well; Olsen and Johnson deserve to be much better remember
