Say It Isn’t So: The Iranian doctor painted as a mad tyrant in “Not Without My Daughter” denies he brutally held his American wife and child prisoner in Tehran, saying the best-selling book and feature film starring Sally Field are based on “lies” of his former wife. Bozorg Mahmoody gives his side of the dramatic story in the current issue of the German newsweekly Der Spiegel, which describes the interview in Iran as the anesthesiologist’s first public response to the 1987 book by Betty Mahmoody.
