Obviously the allure of a tale about America’s first hyper-notorious serial killer is the main draw, but those who have read The Devil In The White City know there are plenty of things that Daniel Burnham did during this time that are both outstanding and noteworthy.
The two men’s stories don’t really intertwines beyond the fact they were both doing big things in Chicago, which could’ve made a film adaptation feel rushed for either man.
Hopefully, Burnham gets some shine in this adaptation.
