Title: Don't bother with this one!
Product review: I've seen the original several times and loved it as a fantastic how'd-they-catch-'em. I bought this one by mistake, thinking it was the original, and was very disappointed in it, regardless of wether it was the one I intended to buy or not. The title of this one should be "The Lives and Times of the Manson Family." It's not good sociology or police procedural. I really don't give a rip about the Family except as the cause of the murders, the manhunt, the near-misses in apprehension, the ultimate catch, and finally the trial. Except for the scenes of the Family, the movie completely lacks focus and drama as well as being a waste of talent in Bruno Kirby's and Mark Snow's cases. Deserves to go in the trash bin.
