Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
High camp black comedy from Hammer, with one-eyed momma Davis glorying in her shrill domestic tyranny over three helpless sons. Stagy evidence that Davis never really got over What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, but she still had enough industrial clout to get the original director, Alvin Rakoff, fired after a week's shooting.Author: PT
