Miss. Montgomery though best known for "Bewitched", like many fine actresses/actors did great work in both film and other venues.
Remember seeing "Lizze Borden" on television, and thought it was pretty good. IIRC there was a scene where the tyrant of a father was going to force the family to eat lamb (stew?) that had clearly gone off. And who could forget him climbing up into the bird loft with a hatchet to kill all the birds.
Would love to see one of those "investigative reports" people do an examination of the evidence against Lizze Borden using today's methods. IIRC after Lizze was aquited no one else was charged and the case was pretty much given up.
