Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Older Sister (1956) (TV)

Synopsis: A year after the Fall River murders, Lizzie Borden and her sister Emma are visited by a reporter.

Appraisal: An atypical episode, and arguably one more ambitious than the show's average. The story presents a new hypothesis for the notorious real-life case; it's an ingenious take, but as I am probably not aware of all of the case's details I am not ideally fit to assess its plausibility.
