picture mommy dead (1966). bert i gordon.

i watched this and i liked this. it s got one of the best openings of the kind. woman on the floor engulfed by flames, burning away to the epic: the worms crawl in- the worms crawl out- into your stomach- and out your mouth...
a girl is released from an asylum or a school i m not certain about that and sent back home with her idiot father and her governess, who is now her stepmother after her mother has died in an accident (the one from the opening sequence). the girl who has been in shocked doesnt remember a thing from that night, though she s aware of her mother's death. next the most disturbing solicitor meets up with them in what seems an hour of incomprehensible angry mumbling from outter space and we find out the father is broke n everyone s relying on the fortunes the young girl has inherited from her mother. ofc kindly she allows her dad to sell the furniture but his greedy new wife just cant get enough. well it's be pretty dumb to reveal everythg cos then there would be no point in watching it.
anyhow i think some might find it a bit campy (even though i m not sure it s always a negative thing), but that s expected from a good 60s B movie. the acting is a bit overdone, but that's also expected in a good 60s B movie. all in all it's shocking enough, n the plot is very fine also, the settings, the soundtrack, etc. it s a Do Watch.
