I saw it when it first aired or thereabouts and remember that there was a lead female character (on www.imbd.com it may be the character "Barbara" who was played by Lynn Carlin). I don't remember it as a "love interest" per se but I do remember that Shatner/Turner pleaded with her in one scene to continue on the project because he needed her expertese in analyzing the data. I need to re-watch the movie on YouTube but I thought it was kind of strange that Shatner/Turner/Milgram would need help doing the statistics and it seems even stranger in retrospect if one actually reads his 1963 "Obedience to Authority" paper -- Milgram only reports descriptive statistics. Perhaps I am misremembering. >After knowing that, it was the end for me. (I assume it was fiction.). Well, if memory serves, wasn't the "10th level" the highest level of shock? There were 30 levels/switches on Milgram's original device. I think that a number of things were changed to make the story more dramatic and interesting, from a pop culture/mass media perspective. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
