The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a 1980 American made-for-television film produced by Sunn Classic Pictures as a part of their Classics Illustrated series. It was filmed partly in Park City, Utah[1] and shown on NBC. It starred Jeff Goldblum as Ichabod Crane, Meg Foster as Katrina von Tassel, and Dick Butkus as Brom Bones. It was directed by Henning Schellerup and produced by Charles Sellier, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on the movie.[2]

The plot follows the general outline of the 1820 Washington Irving short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", with the addition of a new character, widow Thelma Dumkey, who marries Brom Bones, leaving Ichabod free to marry Katrina.
