Crazy Mama (1975)
7/10
That's the way it was in "58" ............

"Crazy Mama" is a fabulous celebration of the Rock & Roll Era, with a free wheeling storyline, and a wonderful soundtrack. If you remember "I've Had It" by the Bell Notes, "Western Movies" by the Olympics, "Dream" by The Everly Brothers, and lots more, then this is for you. If you remember the finned cars of the late 50s, Studebakers, Edsels, Eldorados, and lots more then this is for you. The story, what little there is, involves two hairdressers robbing their way back to the family homestead in Arkansas accompanied by a bunch of misfits aged 18 to 80. Cloris Leachman and Ann Southern carry the film as the fugitive hairdressers, but everything is so frantic that things simply rush by as a blurred vision, and the plot definitely is secondary to this fantastic peek back in time. That's the way it was in "58". - MERK
