a5c7b9f00b After the death of her lover, Wilma takes over his bootlegging business, but without much success. She soon meets up with bank robber Fred, who convinces her and her daughters to join him for his next big heist. In the meantime, Wilma also kidnaps the daughter of a millionaire in the hopes of getting rich off the ransom. Will Wilma and Fred be able to retire with their ill-gotten gains, or will the law eventually catch up with them? Mama and daughters get forced by circumstances into bootlegging and bank robbing, and travel across the country trailed by the law. Mama (Angie Dickinson) and daughters get forced by circumstances into bootlegging and bank robbing, and travel across the country trailed by the law.<br/><br/>According to director Steve Carver, Angie Dickinson allowed the crew to remain on set during the filming of her sex scene with Tom Skerritt, but William Shatner asked for all nonessential crew to be removed during his sex scene with Dickinson. What a prude! Though you do see more of Shatner than you probably ever wanted to.<br/><br/>More than anything else, this film is probably known for its gratuitous nudity. One wonders how low Angie Dickinson&#39;s career sunk that she would agree to this. Being a Corman film, she could not have been making much more than union wages. I was so enjoying this film. I had rented two films, both from the seventies, one a big budget comedy and then this low budget Corman show. I hated the big budget and loved this one, until the political demon started barking up the plot&#39;s far-left sleeve. The heart on the sleeve, that is. I mean, we all enjoy watching films when the rich are being taken from, and the poor get to steal it. That&#39;s the basis of all crime movies and why we like them; and why we root for the bad guys so much. But this movie actually mentions such things, and they are mentioned by the &quot;filthy rich&quot;, and you can tell when certain lines are uttered, they&#39;re in it for a reason other than dialog/conversation. In one scene a rich guy at a party mentions about how bad taxes are because they &quot;tax the rich&quot; (as if the rich are the only ones taxed), in another a guy gives a speech about how bad socialism is: both characters are filthy disgusting villainous types and are made to look stupid. And in the end, or towards the end of the film, a rich girl with an inheritance is kidnapped by the main characters who&#39;d been having a blast robbing banks before, and from that point the movie goes from a fun romp into a mean spirited film with social envy written all over it. Oh well. For an hour I had fun. Till it all started getting see-through. And then, I saw through. As usual. Pity too. I love watching movies. I just wish they&#39;d all keep their agenda to themselves or else better obscured so that we can all enjoy ourselves, not just those in the blue states.
