Wickedly funny!
by verna552000-11-27

"This engaging dark comedy stars the incomparable Bette Davis in one of her best latter-day screen roles as a merciless one-eyed mother who uses wedding anniversary(although her husband has been dead for quite some time) as an excuse to lure her spineless sons into her lair and demonstrate her strange hold over them. This year is a particular feast for the mother when the youngest, a somewhat promiscuous chap, announces that he's going to settle down and get married. And better yet, the eldest and most spineless of the brood discloses that he will be moving out of the country so mumsy will..."

💡 Did You Know?

After The Nanny (1965), Jimmy Sangster's wife Monica said she would leave the country if he ever worked with Bette Davis again. She duly left for their home in the south of France on the day Davis arrived for this shoot and remained there for the duration.
