Still a "did he do it" or "didn't he do it" case, July 12, 2005
This review is from: Crime of the Century [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I am old enuf to have lived thru this, as a child, so have an interest beyond just a story. This is a very good video of the story..and like those before and after...it remains unsolved altho the law "got their man"?
I like the actors in this HBO production. Well done and it is a "heavy" piece of material hence I don't agree with others that it was overacted.
No account solves this crime but this version is entertaining from that standpoint and informative also. I heartly recommend this video.

Conspiracy Of The Century, June 19, 2011
This review is from: Crime of the Century [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Talk about a Conspiracy to Convict. This movie has all the trimmings of an American tragedy of justice, one the likes of Sacco and Vanzetti in its day.
I'll start by saying that the movie was A+ Excellent. The acting was riveting, so much so that I found myself angry with and disgusted by the actors playing the investigative roles. This movie about the true kidnap and murder of Charles Lindburgh's baby in 1932 puts to shame many crime/courtroom dramas being peddled today as John Grisham-esque. The crime is horrific and actions of those who arrest and prosecute the suspect are horrendous. To think that the lead investigator on the case was the father of U.S. Army General Stormin Norman Schwarzdopf of Operation Desert Storm fame makes this historical movie that much more interesting.
Until this day, I along with all the others who've heard of the Lindburgh Baby Case, cannot say whether Bruno Richard Hauptmann was guilty or innocent of the crime, but after watching how the investigation went down in this movie I can honestly state that the New Jersey justice system was guilty of something. Watch this heartwrenching movie to see where lies their guilt. You're also treated to a climactic scene with Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" playing in the background. Masterful!
