Pros: Terrific, Informative, Entertaining Documentary
Cons: None
Cons: None
George Remus is hardly a household name. In fact, it is safe to say that most Americans have never heard of him. He was a criminal defense attorney who, after the passage of the 18th Amendment, which outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, found himself defending bootleggers in court. Remus noticed that when his bootlegger clients were convicted, they were let off with fines which they casually paid with wads of cash that they carried around with them. Remus decided that he was in the wrong business. A shrewd and ambitious man, he quickly became the biggest and most successful bootlegger in the United States. Prohibition, the latest documentary production from Ken Burns' Florentine Films, is an engaging and informative miniseries which deftly demonstrates how the best of intentions can lead to a host of unintended consequences.
