This article was a great read! It's nice to be able to associate a movie character with a real person and have it validated by the family. More importantly it was nice to read that Melvin Purvis finally received his reward for being the "good guy". I have not seen the movie yet, but will certainly think about the real Melvin Purvis as I watch Chrisitan Bale. Knowing that Alton Purvis is part of the BU community will certainly encourage me to read his book. Thanks,
