Members Reviews:
it's good
the music is REALLY dated. but it's a good, short version of the classic tale
Abridged
Great performance by Close
Excellent story by Irving
Sadly abridged
Music is fine but would rather have had the full text
Wonderful!
I loved this version of the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow". It is more true to the original Washington Irving story than most things Hollywood has tried. Glenn Close is exceptionally talented here! This is "a keeper."
