Last year we gave you word on the DVD release of AN AMERICAN CRIME.
Well, it's been months since we've last reported it. Now according to
DVDActive, First Look Studios has announced (again) the DVD release of
AN AMERICAN CRIME which stars Catherine Keener, Ellen Page, and
James Franco. The film is based on a true story that shocked the nation
in 1965, the film recounts one of the most shocking crimes ever
committed against a single victim. Sylvia and Jennie Fae Likens, the two
daughters of traveling carnival workers are left for an extended stay at
the Indianapolis (3850 E. New York St. is hardly suburban, nor was it in
1965, by any stretch of the imagination.) home of single mother Gertrude
Baniszewski and her seven children.
Times are tough, and Gertrude's financial needs cause her to make this
arrangement before realizing how the burden will push her unstable
nature to a breaking point. What transpires in the next three months is
both riveting and horrific, leaving one child dead and the rest scarred for
life. This new drama will now be available to own on August 19
(originally dated for February 5th). The DVD should retail at around
$24.98. The film itself will be presented in anamorphic widescreen, along
with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track. The only extra material
will be preview trailers. You can pre-order the DVD over at Amazon.
