Mr. Hoover and I: a film by Emile de Antonio

Mr. hoover and I [running time 90 minutes]

At age twenty-one, George Spyros’s first professional job came editing master documentarian Emile de Antonio’s Mr. Hoover and I about J. Edgar Hoover’s plans to inter political dissidents in concentration camps. When de Antonio died on the eve of the 1990 Sundance Film Festival, Spyros was drafted to represent the film. De Antonio remains to this day one of America’s most influential filmmakers crafting such films as Point of Order, an examination of the Army-McCarthy hearings; Rush to Judgment, the first film about the Kennedy assassination; and Vietnam in the Year of the Pig made in 1968 at the height of the war. Spyros learned much from “d” about filmmaking, politics and history.
