This movie is also known as "No Tears For The Damned" and with either title this film is one of the most bizarre I have seen in a long time.
It has been thought lost for over 50 years, but thanks to VS it has resurfaced.
Gillian Simpson stars as a bar hooker named Lori who dreams of of a better life. Along comes handsome Jeff Murray (Robert Dix) who sweeps her away and marries her.
The trouble starts when Jeff is gone every night and won't touch Lori. Jeff's mother played by June Drake is very happy that Lori is neglected. Things get even more twisted when we discover that Jeff is a killer who strangles whores and homosexuals, and in the case of the women he cuts off part of their very black hair with a huge pair of snippers.
It appears that Jeff's mother made him dress like Little Lord Fauntleroy until he was a teenager and this has driven him over the edge. Lori is disgusted when she follow Jeff one night and sees him making googoo eyes with the male piano player.
Everything comes to a quick climax and the movie seems to just stop. It has no end title card or anything...it just stops.
Now this is one strange film and it was written by Oliver Drake and his wife June. They also brought us the all time classic "Mummy and Curse Of The Jackyls".
I really think you need to see this and experience regional cinema at it's strangest. The rest of the cast includes John "Bud" Cardos, Ewing Brown, Jackie De Witt and Perry Dell.
