Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Having played a chubby mother's boy in Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Victor Buono brought a certain class to this compelling tawdry exploiter as an obese mother-fixated lab technician who murders nurses. Pre-dating The Boston Strangler by a few years, this is a very different take from that offered by Tony Curtis in Richard Fleischer's 1968 movie.Author: NF
