Customer Reviews

THIS DVD HAS ORIGINAL AND SEQUEL ON IT- 3 HOURS!
I recently purchased the DVD "Betty Broderick: A Woman Scorned", as I have enjoyed this well acted movie on the Lifetime Channel.
To my surprise, this DVD has two movies on it. The first movie of the Betty Broderick story "A Woman Scorned" and the Sequel called "Her Final Fury". A total of 3 hours on this DVD! I also noticed that there is a special section on the DVD where you can see the real Betty Broderick and watch some of her actual testimony at the murder trial. Very interesting. I recommend this DVD highly. This is for anyone who enjoys movies bases on real life incidents, crimes and murders.

OK so i admit it I am a LIFETIME junkie and I make sure that i do not miss this one when it repeats, and it does ALOT. Meredith Baxter gives a convicning performance of "that woman scorned" and although she she murders in cold blood her x husband an his new wife as they lay sleeping peacefully in thier bed in the middle of the night, I still felt sorry for her. The movie starts from thier life together that she helped create while working to put her husband in law school, so that one day that they can have this wonderful life together, as she put it, he took her home, her kids, her friends and her life. Stephen Collins played her husband who after several years of marriage decides he wants a younger more attractive woman an they begin this affair, which is quickly found out by Betty. A lot of women can relate to the loss of love and freedom that Betty Broadwick loses but when i watched this movie withmy husband he could not help but saying "what a bitch she was." I think it depends on which side of the coin you look at it. One of my faviort lifetime movies. Baxter deserved a Emmey for her performace.

A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story
I've seen this movie a hundred times; I love it. I am going to order it from Amazon because I want a permanent copy for my huge DVD library.
This movie is a true story. It took place in SanDiego, California.
Betty Broderick started out as a loving wife and mother. She worked hard; worked very hard to put her husband who began as an ER md I believe....through law school. He becomes a renowned lawyer; is very successful and makes them both rich. Betty is finally able to stay at home to raise their 5 kids and the two of them are enjoying the good life. Right about this time, a new young attractive secretary begins employment at Dan Brodericks lawfirm. It doesn't take long for the two of them to become attracted to one another. Betty suspects and goes into a jealous rage, burning all his clothes for starters. One thing leads to another and he divorces her, and marries his secretary.
What the movie does not portray is the fact that Dan Broderick had a habit of screwing around on his wife. In the movie, he is portrayed as the injured party along with his new wife, who in my opinion, is a two bit home wreaker. She knows he is married, and still goes after him. The two are murdered in cold blood by Betty as they slept.
I don't feel they deserved what she did, however, I felt sorry for her as he took everything away from her that he had given her, that she helped to build. They built a great life together, money was no object, and then he throws her away for a younger woman. Granted, she is a spiteful, jealous lunatic that goes way overboard with some of her actions; however, he is no angel in this relationship, and that is the part that the movie does not show.
This movie is excellent because it is based on a true story; even though all the true facts are not portrayed. I think anyone that wants to see a really good courtroom thriller should buy this movie....it will keep you riveted to your seat right till the very end. It is a great movie and Amazon's DVD has both movies on it...the first one, "A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story" and the sequel, "Her Final Fury; Betty Broderick The Final Chapter". Anyone loving a thriller will relish this great work.
