MANSON (1973) was first screened at the Venice film festival in Sep 1972. Although the box review lists the film’s theatrical release as Dec 1972, that date has not been confirmed and may have been a projected release. As noted in reviews and news items, American International Pictures distributed the picture briefly in 1973, including a late May run in Albuquerque, NM. The picture was re-released in 1975 by Tobann International Pictures, and opened in Los Angeles for the first time on 24 Sep 1975.

According to an Oct 1975 hr (Hollywood Reporter) news item, producer-director Laurence Merrick decided to re-release the film, which had been “dormant” since 1973, in order to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the 5 Sep 1975 attempted assassination of president Gerald Ford by Charles Manson follower Lynette “squeaky” Fromme.
As the result of an Apr 1973 lawsuit brought by Robert Hendrickson against Laurence Merrick, credits on the picture were altered for the 1975 re-release. according to an Apr 1973 LA TIMES item, Hendrickson claimed in the breach-of-contract suit that his onscreen credit as second-unit producer-director did not accurately reflect his work on the picture. Hendrickson sought $190,000 in damages, fifty percent of all profits and the credit “produced and directed by Robert Hendrickson.” According to the Oct 1975 hr news item, Merrick agreed to give Hendrickson credit as a co-producer-director. It is not known if Hendrickson also received monetary compensation. Manson(1973) was Hendrickson’s first and only confirmed theatrical release.
Except where noted, the above credits were taken from a printed cutting continuity of the original 1972 screen credits. The viewed dvd contains the revised 1975 credits. Merrick is listed as executive producer in the 1972 credits, which also contain the production statement, “a Laurence Merrick document.” In the 1975 credits, however, the production statement reads, “a Robert Hendrickson film.” Hendrickson’s and Merrick’s 1975 onscreen credits read, “produced and directed by.” The 1975 re-release also includes new credits for associate producers ENNIS PARSONs and Craig Gunderson.
In the opening credits of the viewed print, footage of various Manson defendants and prosecutor Vincent T. Bugliosi, as well as a group shot of non-indicted Manson followers, is shown, with superimposed subtitles identifying each participant. the subtitles also indicate the legal status of the defendants, including several listed as being on “death row.” The Manson followers are identified as “'the family' at large.” The printed version of the 1972 credits does not mention this footage, but because the death penalty was abolished in California in early 1972 and the sentences of the defendants were reduced accordingly, it is unlikely the footage was added for the 1975 re-release.
Although the viewed print includes a copyright statement for Tobann International, the film was not registered for copyright until 9 apr 1981, at which time it was issued number pa-104-333. the copyright claimant in 1981 was merrick international pictures. ( aka the estate of Laurence Merrick who was shot and killed in 1977

Opening credits on the dvd include the following written statement: “the producer gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the United States Department of Justice, Office of the District Attorney, County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles police department, Inyo county Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles Homicide Division, Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation.
There are no actors in the film. What you will see and hear is real. The opinions expressed are solely those of Charles Manson, his followers and the people connected with the case.”
As noted in the film, the four defendants in the main Tate-Labianca case were convicted on all first-degree murder counts. The trial began on 15 Jun 1970, with judge Charles older presiding.
Los Angeles deputy district attorney Vincent T. Bugliosi’s biggest legal challenge was convincing the jury that Manson, who was not present during the killings, was as guilty of murder as were his followers. Bugliosi’s most effective witness was Linda Kasabian, who drove the getaway car and agreed to testify against the others in exchange for immunity. The jury deliberated for a week before rendering their verdicts on 25 Jan 1971, and recommended the death penalty on 29 Mar 1971. After their sentences were reduced to life imprisonment, the defendants became eligible for parole, but as of 2008, none have been awarded release. Tex Watson, who fled to Texas, was extradicted to California in Nov 1970 and tried separately. considered the primary killer in the Tate-Labianca murders, he was found guilty and sentenced to death.
After his first trial ended in a hung jury, Robert Beausoleil, arrested on 6 aug 1969, three days before the Tate-Labianca murders, was convicted of killing Gary Hinman in Apr 1970. Bruce Davis was convicted in both the Hinman murder and the murder of Spahn ranch hand Donald “shorty” Shea. Steven Grogan was convicted in the Shea murder and, after the judge ruled him mentally incompetent, was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was released in 1985 and is the only Manson family member convicted of murder to secure parole (now a professional musician).
Mary Brunner, who is listed in the opening credits as “accused murderess,” was indicted in the Hinman murder but turned state’s evidence and was granted immunity. She was tried and convicted for the failed Aug 1971 Hawthorne,CA gun store robbery, however, and served six years in prison. For her assassination attempt, "Squeaky" Fromme was sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1987, she escaped from prison in order to see Manson, having heard a false rumor that he was dying from cancer, but was quickly apprehended and re-incarcerated. Both Paul Watkins and Brooks Poston became professional musicians after leaving the Manson family. In addition to writing the songs heard in the film, Watkins, a flautist, and guitarist Poston perform a duet in the picture. Lawrence Merrick and Joan Huntington, who compiled the footage and wrote the film’s narration, were married at the time of production.
The filmmakers utilized many special effects techniques, including split screen, split prism, solarization and slow motion, as well as animation.
Edited down from 250,000 feet, the production took two-and-a-half years to complete and cost $411,000, according to a Mar 1973 hr (Hollywood Reporter) article. According to the same hr article, Merrick first met Manson in Jul 1969, while shooting the 1970 release "Black Angels" at the spahn movie ranch (see entry entry).
www.imdb.com/title/tt0065474/
(^ Seems Bugliosi must have been inspired by Laurence Merricks plot of "Black Angels" to develop the Black vs White Race War angle for Manson Family activities. )
Manson, who had taken over the Spahn ranch by that time, ordered Merrick and his crew to leave after the director confirmed that he was using African-American actors in the picture. ( CM was paranoid of all blacks after the LottsaPoppa shooting July 1, 1969)
Before being evicted, Laurence Merrick managed to shoot about 1,400 feet of film of the Manson Family - PRE - Hinman / Tate / Labianca Murders, some of the July 1969 footage which was used in the Manson documentary. After Charlie Manson’s arrest, Merrick, who had never before made a documentary, decided to return to the ranch to interview Manson’s followers. They cooperated only after Manson gave his approval from jail. Laurence Merrick claimed in the hr (Hollywood Reporter) article that while he was filming in their “apartments and secret places,” some family members casually confessed to the TLB murders, even before their guilt had been established in court. Merrick also stated that during production, crew members were secretly armed and were sometimes threatened by their unpredictable subjects.
In later articles about the production, Robert Hendrickson claimed to have been the one who first approached Manson, but no evidence that he participated in the filming of Merricks Black Angels has been found.
Manson(1973) won the Silver Lion award at the Venice film festival and was nominated for a 1972 Academy Award as best feature documentary. It also received the best documentary award at the Nyon, Switzerland film festival. although mixed in their assessments of the film’s worthiness, many reviewers commented on the unique, “exclusive” nature of much of the footage. At the start of Fromme’s attempted murder trial in Sacramento, a U.S. district judge, acting on a motion filed by Fromme’s attorneys, ruled that the Manson(1973) documentary was prejudicial to Fromme’s defense and banned it from being shown in much of Northern California. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sought an appeal of the injunction, arguing the order violated the constitutional right of free speech, but the ban was upheld until the jury was sequestered in Sacramento. By May 1976, the re-release of Manson had earned almost $1,000,000 at the box office, according to a box news item. The box item also noted that ticket sales were boosted by the Apr 1976 broadcast of the made-for-television movie "Helter Skelter"(ABC) , which was based on a bestselling book about the case, co-authored by Bugliosi.
In Jan 1977, Laurence Merrick was shot to death outside his acting studio by a mentally unbalanced stalker. Manson was his last picture.
In 1989, Hendrickson filed a $310,000 lawsuit against television talk show host Geraldo Rivera, Tribune Entertainment and KTLA-TV, accusing them of using without permission excerpts from Manson(1973) in a television special entitled "Murder—Live from Death Row"(1988).
According to a 1990 hr article, Hendrickson attempted to have Manson testify on his behalf, but his request was denied because Manson’s prison was outside the subpoena jurisdiction of the Los Angeles Court. Defense lawyers argued that permission to broadcast footage from the documentary was secured through the film’s video distributor. Hendrickson prevailed, however, and was awarded a $3,000 judgment in the case in 1990.
