Does anyone remember a 1970's (?) made for tv mystery movie about 4 sisters with boys' names?

They all went back home for a holiday or something, and one by one are murdered.

Does anyone remember a 1970's (?) made for tv mystery movie about 4 sisters with boys' names?
"Sisters" (1991-1996) was a made-for-TV, dramatic series that I thought of in which all of the Reed sisters had boy names: Teddy (for Theodora), Alex (for Alexandra), Georgie (Georgina), and Frankie (Francesca).

EDIT:


How about the movie called "Home for the Holidays" (1972) (TV)?


Here's the plot:


The Morgan sisters are summoned home by their bed-ridden father because he believes his new wife is trying to murder him. Now it seems that the whole family just may be on the murderer's hit list.


This is a neat little thriller by the prolific producing team of Spelling-Goldberg. It's written by the screenwriter of "Psycho"! Ever-cranky Brennan plays a father who is dying (and suspects his second wife, Harris, of doing him in.) He sends for his four daughters (Parker, Walter, Haworth, Field) to come to his aid. At 50, 32, 26 and 26, these ladies are the least likely sisters one could imagine! In fact, Parker had played Field's mother only two years prior. The ladies don't even look like they could be related. It matters little, though, once the drama sets in and the acting begins. Brennan apparently would have preferred sons as each lady has a male nickname: Alex, Freddie, Jo and Chris.


Main cast:


Eleanor Parker ... Alex Morgan


Jessica Walter ... Frederica Morgan


Jill Haworth ... Joanna Morgan


Sally Field ... Christine Morgan


Julie Harris ... Elizabeth Hall Morgan


Walter Brennan ... Benjamin Morgan
