CRAZY MAMA

The second early exploitation feature from superlative film artist Jonathan Demme (THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, SOMETHING WILD, MARRIED TO THE MOB), CRAZY MAMA stars Oscar winner Cloris Leachman (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.)

“When she loses her beauty shop, single mom Melba (Leachman) hits the road with her mother and daughter for a wild cross-country crime spree through 1950s America. The second of three films Demme made for Roger Corman’s New World Pictures is a fast, funny, freewheeling tour through Brylcreem-era kitsch, with a subversive female empowerment edge.” (BAMcinématek)
