(OK) Corman amuses hismself as much as Aldric with his Grissom Gang. Winters is overwhelming, possesive, sick, horny mama, she even kisses her elder son (Don Stroud) and bathe the other adult boys. The chorus of characters is well distributed and filmed....

The Big Movie Watch List of 2021 (276 movies items)

"Sexually abused as a young girl, Kate “Ma” Barker grows into a violently powerful woman by the 1930's. She lovingly dominates her grown sons, and grooms them into a pack of tough crooks. This movie is Roger Corman's answer to Bonnie & Clyde. It's very loosely based on real people. I was expecting this to be a very violent movie so I was really disappointed that it wasn't the case. Shelley Winters is scary, creepy and actually a little touching as "the greatest mother of them all". Her kinky"
