Deadly Business, A (1986) TV Movie

This TV-movie was based on a true story of criminal culpability in the ecological crisis. Alan Arkin stars as an ex-convict hired in 1972 by smooth-talking Armand Assante, who runs a successful garbage disposal business. Even when Arkin finds out that Assante is a functionary of the mob, he chooses to look the other way and count his money. But within six years, it is obvious that the toxic waste dumped by Assante's firm is destroying the atmosphere. Arkin becomes an FBI informant--only to discover how deeply ingrained and how high up the social and political scale the corruption really is. Deadly Business manages the neat trick of being politically correct and entertaining all at once. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jack the Ripper (1988) TV Movie

Based on the real life event, this film claims to have had access to top secret Home Office files and believe that their ending is the correct solution to the age old mystery. Interesting take on a true story.
