Former actress Andriana clashes with her step-daughter Lisa over their inheritance. Lisa and her ‘hippie’ boyfriend plot to drive her insane with LSD. Will they be successful in this diabolical plot?
Tito Davison’s heavy-handed direction, working from William Douglas Lansford’s deliciously lurid script, milks the outrageously melodramatic plot for all its worth: we’ve got several wild anything-goes freak-out parties, lots of crazy far-out trip scenes, hilariously gaudy loud’n’tacky visuals, rapid-fire editing, and even a smattering of surprising gratuitous nudity.
The admirably sincere acting from a sturdy cast adds immensely to the infectiously campy fun: Richard Egan as Adriana’s concerned best friend Frederick Lonsdale, yummy redhead Pamela Rogers as Lisa’s vampy, zany free-spirited gal pal Bibi, Carlos East as funky painter Lalo, and Regina Torne as the evil Queen Bee. Val Johns’ swingin’ groovy score, Gabriel Figueroa’s bright, garish, splashy color cinematography, and the cool soundtrack (the theme song “Lean on Me” is quite catchy) are all suitably histrionic. A real wacky riot.
