Sexually abused as a young girl, Kate “Ma” Barker grows into a violent and powerful woman by the 1930s. She lovingly dominates her grown sons and grooms them into a pack of tough crooks. The boys include the cruel Herman, who still shares a bed with Ma; Fred, an ex-con who fell in love with a fellow prisoner; and Lloyd, who gets high on whatever’s handy. Together they form a deadly, bizarre family of Depression-era bandits.

Viewing Notes
Roger Corman-directed, low budget film based on the Depression-era Ma Barker crime family (her four sons). And it was not bad at all. Shelley Winters is pretty good as the somewhat deranged Ma Barker, and a very young Robert DeNiro plays one of her sons.
