In “Daniel” (1983), a ’60s graduate student (Timothy Hutton) recalls his parents (Mandy Patinkin, Lindsay Crouse), who were executed in the ’50s for selling atomic secrets. The film, directed by Sidney Lumet, is based on E. L. Doctorow’s novel inspired by the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for espionage.
Our guest speakers for this film are Robert and Ellen Meeropol, with Rick Winston. Robert is the Rosenbergs’ son.
