Man Nobody Knew: In Search Of My Father, CIA Spymaster William Colby

Year: 2011

Grade: C

Country: USA

Director: Colby

Review

documentary about william colby former cia director and operative who was working during vietnam and started his service career during ww2. somewhere buried in here there is a good documentary. god knows that the content and subject matter are interesting enough. unfortunately it’s barely personal and not particularly good as a history lesson either. it’s directed by colby’s son and he provides a lot of background info and context, but it’s so haphazard and unorganized that a narrative barely emerges. it would have been more interesting if he focused on the sacrifice his father made as a family man in order to be a cia man, unfortunately there’s not much of that. when there is, though, the film gets more interesting.
