Continuing their series of great Roger Corman films Shout Factory brings us two more interesting gems. Crazy Mama stars Cloris Leachman as a middle aged woman whose business is closed due to foreclosure and so she, her mother and daughter and the daughters boyfriend decide to head back to Arkansas. The trip turns into a crime spree.
Luscious Linda Purl is the young daughter and Ann Southern is the mother and Donny Most is the boyfriend. This is a sometimes comical, sometimes serious movie and they are blended well together with great 50's music and direction by Jonathan Demme.
Lady in Red stars beautiful Pamela Sue Martin as the woman who the FBI used to kill john Dillinger at the Biograph theater. Robert Conrad stars as Dillinger and Christopher Lloyd is a very sadistic man named "Frognose." Both of these films are presented in a Grindhouse style with previews and intermission thrown in.
Highly Recommended.
For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre.
