Love & Death Finale Brings Axe Murder Trial Of Candy Montgomery To Hbo Max

Miniseries depicts the murder of Betty Gore by her friend Candy Montgomery and the subsequent trial in Wylie, Texas in 1980.
Elizabeth Olsen stars as Candy Montgomery, a woman accused of killing her friend with an axe.
The series was adapted from the book Evidence of Love by showrunner David E. Kelley.
Director Lesli Linka Glatter says Elizabeth Olsen was perfect to explore the human aspects of the sensational case.
Filming on location in Texas helped capture the feel of 1970s small-town America where the shocking events took place.
