DVD Reviews of History's Mysteries - The Strange Case of Lizzie Borden (History Channel)
DVD Review: Great History Channel Production
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Lizzie Borden junkie you need to add this one to your DVD library. I've been to the Borden House and taken the tour and this means so much more now that I have been there. Now if we can just get the ABC TV Movie from 1975 with Elizabeth Montgomery on DVD, all will be well. DVD Review: Excellent dvd on the Lizzie Borden case!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have absolutely no idea why anyone would NOT like this dvd. It was superb! Who cares if the wig used in this dvd on Lizzie was not her true hair color! Does that really matter????? What matters is that the History channel once again delivers a fantastic and informative dvd filled with nice theories, facts, reinactments, and interviews. This is a must-buy for any fan of this type of genre.DVD Review: Good Old Lizzie
Summary: 5 Stars
The history channel did a fabulous job in this video, making the Borden Case seem like it just occured. They leave the final note, "Did Lizzie or did Lizzie not do it" a question for the viewer to find out! Well worth the money!!DVD Review: I just happened to see this last night....
Summary: 1 Stars
(March 9 2007 rebroadcast) I must've miss this the first time around. YES, why hasn't a modern foresnic study been done? There is likely plenty of evidence still in the Borden home, even after 100 years. The re-enactors in this production are just dreadful... Mrs. B is portrayed by a skinny, young-ish woman and the Lizzie actor doesn't even have her red hair and moon face and looks about 20 year old (Lizzie was 32 at the time of the murders), and the Irish maid spits out a couple of words in an attempted British accent. (Bad acting is the fault of the director.) The reenactments aren't done convincingly and the production is sub-standard- far below the usual level of History Channel mysteries. This episode is not worth watching. Please, some production company put together a show that applies modern forensic CSI to what evidence remains in the Borden home and the Fall River historical society has plenty of artifacts to test. Like those hatchets and clothing! Minute, old blood spots will still be intact. Well, I think Lizzie did it, and don't we all? She must've been PMSing! Let's face it this was one dysfunctional family. Lizzie didn't sell her story to Hollywood, give interviews or pen an autobio. DVD Review: 1800s Woman on Trial
Summary: 2 Stars
You would almost think this was made by Court TV, rather than another cable channel. It's intended for those who like the true crime genre, even with its dash of feminism and women's studies. This work has some cheesy reenactments in it. For example, the murder victims were bludgeoned, but the actors portray them as if they were fainting and there is no fake blood anywhere. One actor has huge, 19th-Century sideburns that were obviously bought at a five-and-dime wig shop and lazily glued on.
The work foreshadows matters by saying "crime of the century" and noting that the event happened in the 90s of a century. Later in the work, they very explicitly say Lizzie Borden was the O.J. Simpson of the 1800s. Later the work introduces that Miss Borden may have had lesbian relationships. I am surprised that they didn't then bring up Aileen Wuornos or Wanda Jean, lesbians in the 1990s who were prosecuted for murder, just as Miss Borden was. O.J. is as far as the work goes in trying to get modern audiences to relate.
The work had female and male interviewees. One interviewee is a psychotherapist and they never once explain why she was/is an expert on the subject; very random! They don't bring up when Martin Prince in drag as Miss Borden says, "Three whacks with a wet noodle, Bart!" on "The Simpsons."
Description of History's Mysteries - The Strange Case of Lizzie Borden (History Channel)
Lizzie Borden took an ax, and gave her mother 40 whacks; when she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41. Most of us know the grisly rhyme, but not the whole story. Who was Lizzie Borden? Did she really murder her father and stepmother on that muggy morning in August 1892? Or does she stand wrongly accused?General DVDs
