DVD Acitve reports that this drama that has been collecting dust on the shelves for years now will be available to own on August 19, and should retail at around $24.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. The only extra material will be preview trailers. Based on a true story that gripped the nation in 1965, An American Crime recounts one of the most shocking crimes ever committed against a single victim. source: http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/12613/ Tue, 17 Jun 2008 17:37:07 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/7985#comment_23706 http://www.indy.com/posts/7985#comment_23706 angeleyezizhere Does anyone know how to get this film on DVD?

Right, well when the download finished, it was a totally different movie! So I watched it. And cried it the end. That is how I founf out about this crime. It's sad. What happened to her little sister? Is she still alive??

The state passes film tax incentives that are not competitive with surrounding states; the investment community ignores film production as a viable economic stimulus for the state; the "independent" films that are made by Indiana filmmakers are of pathetically poor quality, and the state's "guru" to the film world is someone who has never, ever made a movie and has done absolutely nothing to promote the growth of Indiana filmmakers. Criminal!

The Reno Brothers, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reno_Gang They committed the first train robbery and ten members of the group were lynched. A movie called Rage At Dawn was made about them in 1955. There's also Herb Baumeister, who is certainly the wealthiest American serial killer I'm aware of, if you don't count politicians and such: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Baumeister I don't think anyone's made a movie about him yet, but there's certainly a compelling story to be explored there.

I'm one of those people who has a macabre interest in this stuff. Having said that, even I find the Likens case difficult to read about, and I'll approach the movie with some trepidation, although I'm sure I'll see it eventually.
