I remember watching it as a kid when it was initially aired and being mesmerized! Filmed in B&W and framed as a "you were there" type of thing, I still find it fascinating. It's the only production (that I'm aware of) that was actually filmed at Ford's Theater, which at that point had only been refurbished and opened for three years. Not everything clicks, but it's really good in my humble opinion. Give it a look, mein Schatz!!

Yes!! That was the first one I saw & was instantly hooked. I dont know how to describe the feeling any better than that. I saw it in the early 80’s and believe it was shown on PBS. I was a kid & still young enough to question if they had movie cameras back then. Was it accurate? I honestly can’t remember but Im going to go look for it on youtube right now.
