An anthology of eight episodes from the Court TV-aired Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege and Justice, these programs are essentially a video extension of the author's non-fiction books and Vanity Fair reportage about extraordinary true crimes among the rich and powerful. The startling stories include the amazing tale of Ruth Ann Aron, a Maryland housewife turned millionaire lawyer and politician who hired a hit man to further her ambitions for public office. Equally shocking is a report about a white, Macon, Georgia beverage company heir who takes drastic measures when his social-climbing efforts are hampered by his marriage to an African-American woman. If that's not appalling enough, take the tobacco heiress killed by a car bomb planted by her forgotten brother. Greed, a hunger for power, and blatant arrogance go hand-in-hand in these fascinating accounts. DVD extras include interview segments with Dunne. Recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
