Legend of Lizzie Borden to be released on DVD
Released on May 13th, most likely prompted by the recent popularity of the Lifetime Channel’s Christina Ricci effort- the 1975 version with Elizabeth Montgomery can now be pre-ordered on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Lizzie-Borden-Elizabeth-Montgomery/dp/B00HZVX14O/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1394644302&sr=1-1&keywords=Legend+of+Lizzie+Borden
For many, this made-for-TV movie was the starting point for interest in the Borden case. Highly recommended viewing, as Montgomery gives a compelling performance in the title role and the script stays closer to the real story than the recent Lifetime Channel effort, even though some liberties are taken and some key figures left out. Youtube has had the film online, albeit chopped up in segments, for some time but it will be a treat to see it start to finish uninterrupted. The film’s signature musical theme is unforgettable.

I received an email from Amazon saying this title will be released in October.

It appears that Amazon is no longer listing the DVD as available in May. You can sign up to be notified when it becomes available. Bad news.

I have this on DVD (ordered from a Canadian company,) and it’s quite good. In fact, I’ve read that Elizabeth Montgomery is distantly related to Lizzie Borden.
