George Lardner was the last person to see David Ferrie alive. Here is his review of Oliver Stone's JFK:
The Washington Post, December 20, 1991
Money Quotes:
Oliver Stone knows how to make a movie. It's too bad he doesn't know how to tell the truth.
Stone mixes fact and fiction at dizzying speed, stomping on presumptions of innocence, cooking up fake admissions, ignoring contrary evidence, and giving a conspiratorial tone to inconsequential facets of the tragedy that were explained long ago.
And Lardner's conclusion:
Stone claims artistic license for his work. I don't know who gave him his license, but he ought to be arrested for reckless driving.
