The People vs. Paul Crump is a 1965 documentary about the prisoner Paul Crump who was on death row for robbery and murder.[2]
The film was made for Chicago television and was highly praised and crucial to the career of its director William Friedkin, helping him get an agent and jobs making documentaries for David Wolper, and then an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.[3]
Friedkin says when he made the film he was convinced Crump was innocent but now feels he was guilty.[4]
