Lovely period costumes, as well as a haunting, true story., 19 July 2006
10/10

In response to the above comment about the woman character in men's clothing: I would guess Gertrude Stein.

I love this movie, not least of all for the costumes! The first time I happened to catch this was on TV home sick from school when I was 10, and something about it grabbed me right away. The story is heartbreaking, and also a little eerie, when you consider all the talk about the Lindbergh baby. It's one of those movies with so much detail that I imagine I'll have to watch it several more times before I catch everything.

This movie is also difficult to find, and is only available on used VHS. I am lucky that one of my local stations has decided to air it several times, and I'll finally get the chance to record it.
