VHS Movie Reviews of Midnight In Savannah
Movie Review: The story behind "The Book"
Summary: 4 Stars
This video delves into the people and the events of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, John Berendt's wildly popular non-fiction novel about the sleepy, isolated city of Savannah, Georgia. It was great to finally see the video, and found it quite informative and interesting. Particularly interesting, was the interview with the crime scene photographer, who has with him some of the pictures he took that day--most notably that of Hansford's over the gun he was supposedly going to fire. The video also does well in documenting the varying opinions of other Savannians towards the whole Midnight phenomena. Missing from the video, for obvious reasons, is refence to Lee Adler and Luther Driggers. Also, the video does not go into the issue of race, which Berendt readily discussed in the book. Movie Review: Midnight in Savannah still alive and well
Summary: 5 Stars
Murder,mayhem, socialites, mansions, high powered lawyers and big time murder trial, Lady Chablis, Angel, the Spiritual Psychic (who incidently can be found at www.angelmindbodyspirit.com)and was very informative on Voodoo, make up the setting for and awesome documentary Midnight in Savannah. Once you become a part of this documentary, you will understand why tourism has increased here in beautiful Savannah.I would love to see more reviews from those who agree and disagree.Movie Review: A Look at the Book and the City
Summary: 5 Stars
Midnight in Savannah is a riveting documentary about John Berendt's popular book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." The central portion of the film deals with Jim Williams and his four murder trials. There is interesting archival footage from the trials included in the documentary. But other characters in the book, the ones largely forgotten for the movie, are presented. Emma Kelly has a nice segment as does Joe Odom, and we get to see the woman behind the character of Mandy. Luther Driggers, unfortunately, does not appear. We attend one of the card parties and there are interviews with many of the people of Savannah.This documentary presents Savannah as a place as well as covering "The Book." The viewer is taken on a short tour of the city and gets an introduction to the beautiful architecture, the squares and the people who populate "The Book." I found it an enjoyable film and highly recommend it.
Movie Review: Perfect 10
Summary: 5 Stars
This video by A&E outshines the book and Eastwood's film. Focuses on the characters and events of the "Midnight" story as well as the beautiful city of Savannah itself. Very realistic and deep, and even though it is lengthy, you will find yourself wanting to visit Savannah after seeing this documentary. In fact, I did just that last summer. Get the video prior to visiting b/c it provides so much insight into the city that you will benefit from it. Also, the shops in Savannah sell this video however the price is "through the roof"....Movie Review: The Truth About Midnight In the Garden
Summary: 5 Stars
This airing on A & E is what piqued my interest in the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil hype. This program is done so very well that you can't help but to fall in love with the city of Savannah and hunger for more on the "Garden". This lead me to the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and then to Savannah itself. What a fun little detour from the reality of my life!!

" Three years ago, author John Berendt released Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The true story of a murder mystery which exposes the bizarre and sordid underbelly of the sleepy, genteel city of Savannah, Georgia, it exploded onto bestseller lists nationwide, and is now a major motion picture. MIDNIGHT IN SAVANNAH is a riveting journey into the world of Berendt's book, with the author himself as a guide.

Along with their stories, MIDNIGHT IN SAVANNAH delves deep into the mysterious murder, revealing evidence never before made available to the public. And see how the spotlight of publicity has changed this once-quiet southern city forever. It's an intriguing journey into the soul of a city and the heart of mystery, a gripping look at the people and truth behind Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."General Video
