\"\"<\/a>A Compassionate Spy<\/em> (2022<\/a>) is a documentary on Soviet spy Theodore Hall (1925<\/a>-99), and his unrepentant wife.<\/p>\n

Compassionate isn’t a right word for Hall.<\/p>\n

Born Alvin Holtzberg in New York, he was involved in the Manhattan Project<\/em> (active 1942<\/a>-6). His college began at Queens College; he obtained his BS at Harvard and MS from the University of Chicago.<\/p>\n

When he was on Fat Man<\/em> (1945<\/a>-9), he believed a US monopoly on atomic weapons was dangerous and could lead to a new war. Therefore, he turned to the USSR, spying for them. He was never charged with spying.<\/p>\n

When the spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were facing execution in 1953, Hall considered confessing to his own activities, hoping it would help save them. However, Joan talked him out of it, arguing that his confession would not support the Rosenbergs and would only lead to his own imprisonment or execution.<\/p>\n

The Hall brothers were extremely intelligent. His older brother Edward N. Hall (1914<\/a>-2006) was a rocket scientist, led US missile development and its allies in World War II and the late 20th century. He is known as the father of the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile.<\/p>\n
