Customer Reviews

Excellent Bio!
This biography was one of the best I've seen. It kept me guessing to the end whether Lizzie Borden actually did the crimes or not. Here's another one that got away with murder!

Comment on reviewer No. 1
The viewer from Pittsburgh, PA, is completely wrong. First, it is not certain if Lizzie commited the murders, second, she was not convicted, but acquitted. I doubt very much that he has seen the video. Oh, it's a good video, the information in it is well-researched, and it makes your mouth water for more details and facts from her life.

The video borders on being a real-life horror film
After seeing this video, I was so intrigued by the story of Lizzie Borden that I wrote a one-act play based on her trial. As I conducted my own research, I found that all of the information I obtained on my own was already contained in the viedo. I must say, it is one hell of a movie.
