This old made-for-TV film does a good job of including the important details of the Manson murders and the case. Steve Railsback makes a very good Manson. The film goes for realism, which is a thoroughly satisfying approach. Include a few Manson songs for the win.

yes this film was made for Tv in the late 1970s but does an excellent job of presenting the facts and investigational blunders and breakthroughs that finally lead to Charles Manson and his groupies being convicted of the brutal murders of Sharon Tate and her friends and the La Bianca's. The story line is excellent and factual. Great movie for those who are true crime buffs.
