this wasn't the best flick I have ever seen But Shelley Winters is a cool actress. This is a wierd saort of flick with the topic of incest and murder thrown into the mix. Can't rate this very high but will givew a decent score because it was interesting.

Shelley Winters chews up the screen as Ma Barker and she sure does love her boys. Together they crime spree across the US w/ Bruce Dern along for the ride. Corman exploitation sure is fun.

RCorman classic. Type cast SWinters as the fat/crazy woman once again. Luv Shelley & Bruce always.
