Bloody Mama Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Roger Corman
Genres: Crime
Rating:
Shelley_Winters, who once played the spoofish "Ma Parker" on Batman, brings the same larger-than-life approach to her portrayal of real-life Ma Barker in Bloody Mama. Presiding over her outlaw gang, consisting mainly of her goonish sons, Ma goes on a Depression-era rampage of bank robbery, murder and kidnapping. Obviously filmed in a hurry-watch as the Barker mob drives past modern shopping centers-- Bloody Mama strives for an entertaingly sleazy aura, especially when dealing with the incestuous subtext of Ma's relationship with her boys. And look who plays the Barker brood: Clint_Kimbrough, Robert_Walden and Robert_De_Niro! Bloody Mama was scripted by Robert_Thom, whose previous collaboration with producer Roger_Corman was the cult classic Wild in the Streets (former 1950s ingenue Diane_Varsi appears in both films).
