    A truly bizarre B-movie best left to die-hard Liz Taylor or Mia Farrow fans.

    This is a great psychological drama, that is over looked, and won Joseph Losey the nickname "Joe Lousy". I'm inclined to disagree with that nametag, This is a a deep thinking, heart felt , twisted, and perhaps even disturbing look at an aging prostitute who can not deal with the ...( read more)drowning death of her young daughter, or that her husband left her. She's jaded and alone and sad. The other character Chenchi played by a young Mia Farrow, is a disturbed young girl who had been sexually assaulted by her step father, thinks Taylor's character is her dead mother. The end result is a tangle of insanity, and denial mixed with some sex and decite. Pamela Brown plays one of the thieving aunts beautifully, and Mitchum a lecherous relative set out for his own interests. Very interesting watch, and often overlooked.
