With the new year here, you can now watch DOVEY’S PROMISE, which is my feature film about the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer, and the subsequent trial of Raymond Crump for killing her.
You probably know that Mary was the final mistress of JFK. But, their connection involved so much more than sex. They were friends, confidantes, and they shared the world view that what mattered most was peace, and that it was time to end the Cold War. It’s doubtful that he had any advisors whom he trusted more than Mary. His brother Robert was the only possible exception.
But, famed Civil Rights attorney Dovey Roundtree got involved and offered to defend Raymond Crump for one dollar for one reason: because of her certain belief in his innocence.
I had an advisor too in writing the script, and he was Michael Pinchot, who is a cousin of Mary’s. And one thing that Michael did was provide me the transcript of the trial. I knew it was public domain, but I still couldn’t find it online. So, I went to Michael, and fortunately, he had it and sent it to me.
Leading the awards that DOVEY’S PROMISE has won is our star Joy White, who won BEST ACTRESS at many film festivals. What lifts up the film is her power in the courtroom, and I mean Dovey’s and Joy’s. So, if you are easily enthralled by a great courtroom drama, you will love DOVEY’S PROMISE.
The film doesn't proselytize. It implies that the same people who killed JFK killed Mary. You’ll hear a character say that “the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer was the sequel to Dealey Plaza.” We don't bring up Oswald or Ruby, but the film makes it clear that after killing JFK, the CIA killed Mary, for damage control.
And with that. DOVEY’S PROMISE can and will spread JFK truth. If you’d like to help propel the film, you should watch it, then post a positive comment on the Vimeo page, and also encourage your family and friends to watch it. Will you please do that?
And whether you do that as a personal favor to me, or to support the cause of JFK truth, or both, I sincerely thank you. Here is the link:
