psycho a go go (1965)

aka Echo of Terror. Psycho a Go-Go. The Man with the Synthetic Brain.
A jewelry heist goes wrong and the 'glass' ends up in a child's doll. The thugs then track down and terrorise the family in an attempt to recover the diamonds. The mother turns out to be a nightclub singer, which gives the excuse to show her singing some of her tunes.
A real c movie happening, chock full of hep cat slang and featuring some swinging go go dancers. The film was attempt to launch
Tacey Robbins singing career, which it patently failed to do. Once it leaves the night spot it becomes a long winded chase film. A snappy 30 minute short is padded out to a barely passable 70 minutes. One to watch for all the wrong reasons, the bad direction, weird inappropriate cutaways and the implausible plot.
