Liz's TV Movies

I've been wanting to watch those. I know Borden well enough and can skip those. Sometimes I can get ambitious enough to scour youtube but don't want to invest the money otherwise.
Wouldn't mind seeing the one about the circus.
Try to find what I can from the library.
Of course now that the good weathr's here I want to spend less time indoors.

So "The Victim" is "entertaining 1970's junk"? Don't knock junk. Where would television be without it? LOL

I found "The Victim" on youtube last fall. I often go through the youtube offerings because of all the current junk on TV. That was a TV movie I enjoyed when I was a kid.

My sisters and I were always looking for what we deemed a "spooky movie." Something like "The Victim" was just scary enough. It gave you goose bumps but not nightmares. It was a scary little film. And since Bewitched had ended, I was going through Elizabeth Mongomery withdrawal. I just wanted to see her in something! Of course you're right that it doesn't hold up as well as some of the other films, but not everything can be a timeless classic.

I really enjoyed "Mrs. Sundance". But it's been a long time. I can't remember any details.

"Lizzie Borden" holds up better in the scary department, probably because it's based on real events. It was the film that got me interested in Lizzie Borden. Over the years I've acquired a number of books on the subject and watched all the documentaries.

I thought "Dark Victory" was a credible remake of the old Bette Davis film. It's another of those TV films I saw again recently. I had forgotten that a youthful Anthony Hopkins was in it. He was so handsome. "A Case of Rape" was excellent, so dark and disturbing.

"The Awakening Land" was one of the best miniseries ever. It's interesting how Elizabeth Montgomery could pull off a portrayal of the young Sayward in the first episode. The character was hardly more than a young girl herself when she was left to care for her younger siblings. She was probably supposed to be in her late teens or maybe twenty at the most. Elizabeth Montgomery was already in her mid-forties at the time.

Elizabeth Montgomery had a huge body of work so there were bound to be a few films that don't hold up, but for the most part, I think they will hold up better than a lot of what is currently made today.
