The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975)

Emmy award winning TV movie starring everyone’s favourite home-making witch, Elizabeth Montgomery. Here she swaps her pointy hat for a pointy ax.
It’s a surprisingly competent film all-round, from acting to editing. Claims to be based on fact but clearly has dashings of implied 'maybe' as well.
Elizabeth Montgomery shines in a role I'd not have thought her suited for.
