Viewing Notes
AKA DIE! DIE! MY DARLING, FANATIC is the more appropriate, if less exciting, title. Talulah Bankhead is excellent as the increasingly unhinged coulda been mother-in-law and Stephanie Powers is great in the woulda been daughter-in-law who goes from obsequious and humorous to increasingly desperate.
I like the nods to film with Powers’ fiancé dropping off film canisters at his place of work and Bankhead’s character being a former actress.
It gets a little too over-the-top at times but that just serves to set up Bankhead’s craziness later in the film.
