When I saw it way back when it didn’t make sense why the movie The Right Stuff made Grissom look bad. Didn’t have any idea back then how much the entertainment industry was used to manipulate public awareness and opinion.
Yeah, I remember seeing The Right Stuff when I was a teenager. They spent a big chunk of the movie on making Grissom look like a humiliated failure, and I couldn't figure out why he was to blame for anything. I imagine his family was not happy about his portrayal in that film.
No doubt NASA was pleased with it.
