What's the Matter with Helen? (1971)
Country: US
Technical: DeLuxe 101m
Director: Curtis Harrington
Cast: Debbie Reynolds, Shelley Winters, Michael MacLiammoir, Dennis Weaver, Agnes Moorehead
Synopsis:
In the 1930s the two mothers of convicted murderers move to Hollywood and open up a dance school. For one of them the future looks rosy, but the other is plagued by the feeling she is being stalked for what her son did.
Review:
What is it about films that start with 'What'? This was a late entry in the ageing actress thriller subgenre, which began all the way back with Baby Jane (1962). Some style in the presentation but not very satisfactory in plot terms, with no particular last-minute revelations and one or two loose ends: what was the letter of legacy that the avenging lover was carrying?
