Call Northside 777, the facts behind the film


For those interested in the "real" story behind this film, and to find out who the protagonists were there is a very good article in Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majczek_and_Marcinkiewicz. A photograph of the three main men appears at http://www.life.com/image/92936073 a further article at http://www.law.northwestern.edu/wrongfulconvictions/exonerations/ilMajczekSummary.html, and the obituary of Joseph M Majczek (Frank W Wiecek in the film) at http://www.nytimes.com/1983/06/01/obituaries/joseph-m-majczek-73-conviction-led-to-film.html but be warned that it will cost money to read the obituary.

The movie never showed who the real killers were or really explained why Wanda Skutnick wouldn't change her story.
