bloody mama (1970)

Though based on a true story, this is an entirely fictitious account of Ma Baker and her boys. It's believed that Ma Baker had no actual involvement in the Barker-Karpis gang. This not withstanding, the film rattles along in fine style as she and her boys go from small time delinquents to FBI's most wanted. Along the way the boys develop virtually every deviancy known to man, or woman for that matter. All interspirsed with archive of the period, commented on by Ma herself, as she looks after her boys and all their needs! A low budget, but compelling film, just don't believe a word of it!
