Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this DVD after finishing the book "Crime of the Century" by Hal Higdon. My one and and only complaint with the book is there were no photo sections included. For me, this made it difficult to visualize the "characters". In buying the DVD I was hoping to get a better picture of Leopold and Loeb as well as Bobby Franks and the families of all 3 boys. I definitely got that! The DVD started with a brief set up describing Chicago of the 1920's and the Kenwood neighborhood where all 3 boys lived. It spent a fair amount of time discussing the crime itself, the trial and Leopold and Loeb's lives after sentencing. I especially liked that they used very little reenactments but focused more on interviews with Hal Higdon and others. It was very interesting to hear from the boy (now an elderly man) who was considered as a victim before Bobby Franks was chosen. These interviews were mingled heavily with photographs of the principals as well as locations as they appeared in that era. After purchasing, but before receiving, the DVD I found that it is on youtube in its entirety. As with similar youtube videos, it is broken into 4 parts and the video quality is poor. I watched it and the DVD when it arrived and I'm glad that I bought the DVD.
