There are so many good reviews and plot summaries of this film I won't repeat them I just want to add my voice to say I was so impressed when I first watched this film I could not believe it was a made for TV movie. The script (adapted from the book of the same title) is well done, the photography is excellent and the acting is top notch...the entire cast. With such good reviews on all the sites I am amazed that this is only available as a bare bones DVD-R. I guess the quality does not count as much as the quantity of sales. I would love to get a "restored" Blu-ray version with SDH but that is not likely to happen. The picture and sound are very good and it does not show its age like some made for TV movies from the same period. It is in full screen (as that was TV in the 80"s)and I still count it as one of my favorite true crime films. Be warned this is about rural Georgia in 1948 so there is use of the N-word, not excessive but there are some scenes where it shows up, but is necessary to the film.
