It has never been officially released to home format.

It is floating around the internet in bootleg form, like a lot of TV movies out there. It's a shame it never got an official release, because its production values were so good it looked like it could've made it on the silver screen!

yea, it IS a shame. I remember seeing it when it first aired way back in 1975 (I saw it when I was on vacation in another city once. I couldn't see it where I lived at the time because the citys ABC affiliate chose not to air it because they considered it "too violent". I remember a lot of ABC affiliates also did that.) and I'd love to see it again. On you tube there's a clip of the end scene.

It was also great to see Katherine Helmond (Soap, Who's The Boss, Coach, etc.) in a dramatic role. Almost everything else I've seen her in has been comedy, and she did a great job as Lizzie's conflicted older sister.
