Legacy
Two books have been written on the Boyd Gang, and one was made into a successful movie. "Girls in the Gang", a musical written by Raymond Storey and Jon Roby, was based on the story of the Boyd gang. It debuted in 1987 at Toronto's and won a Dora Mavor Moore award for best musical. In 1998 Boyd was profiled in a documentary on CBC Television's Life and Times, wherein he admitted that he had committed many more robberies than he had been charged with. Another film on Boyd's life, Edwin Boyd: Citizen Gangster, was released in 2011; Scott Speedman plays the part of Boyd.
