Review of Pretty Poison (1968) by Ben C — 05 Sep 2008
Tuesday Weld's finest hour? Prime example of her "all-american unwholesomeness". Anthony Perkins is great as creepy (as usual) Dennis Pitt, delusional man just out of a mental institution. He wraps up lovely Sue Ann (Tuesday) in his outlandish fantasies, but who is manipulating whom? Plus, Beverly Garland, the tramp from Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, gives her best performance ever as Sue Ann's beastly, ill-fated mother.
Unfairly ignored black, black, black comedy. Precursor to (and better than) Natural Born Killers.
