Crime of the Century is a 1996 HBO television film directed by Mark Rydell.
The film stars Stephen Rea as Bruno Hauptmann and Isabella Rossellini as his wife Anna.
The film, like Ludovic Kennedy's 1985 book The Airman and the Carpenter upon which it is based, presents Bruno Richard Hauptmann as not guilty of the Lindbergh abduction and murder for which he was tried and executed.
It suggests at least one of the perpetrators was Isidor Fisch, an associate of Hauptmann's who had conned several of the local German community out of money and who returned to Germany after the Lindbergh baby was found.
The film earned five Golden Globe nominations in the "Mini-Series or Motion Picture made for TV" categories.
