The non fiction novel midnight in the garden of good and evil by john berendt was made into a movie in 1997 and was directed by Clint Eastwood.
Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil is about a group of eccentric cast of characters who lived in Savannah Georgia around the time of the killing of Danny Hansford a local male prostitute who nobody liked.
Clint Eastwood's paints a almost uncanny picture of the southern town that was depicted in the book , including some of the real life characters such as lady chablis , a transsexual entertainer and socialite playing herself in the movie.
I love reading books filled with charm, humor and a long list of off beat characters. It's hard to believe that this was based on a true story, but all in all a very good read.
I highly recommend both the book and movie version of Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.
Clint Eastwood even including footage of the actual Savannah's Bird Girl Statue that was on the cover of the book in the movie!
