American Experience S08E01 (1995) Murder of the Century.avi

In 1906, the murder of Stanford White, New York architect and man-about-town, by Harry Thaw, heir to a Pittsburgh railroad fortune, was reported "to the ends of the civilized globe"; much of the focus, however, was on Evelyn Nesbit, the beautiful showgirl in the center of the love triangle. It was a sensational murder story that had everything: money, power, class, love, rage, lust and revenge.

Murder of the Century examines the opulent world of wealthy New York just after the turn of the century, conflicts over morality between the rich and middle class and the rise of a tabloid "yellow" press that encouraged and fed the public's hunger for more and more sensational stories.

"It is not merely a murder," William Randolph Hearst's Journal declared at the time. "The flash of that pistol lighted up an abyss of moral turpitude, revealing hidden features of powerful, reckless, openly flaunted wealth."
