“Picture Mommy Dead” (1966) with Zsa Zsa Gabor - Part 1
“The worms crawl in. The worms crawl out. In your stomach and out your mouth…” - gross!!!
This was a thriller that I must have seen many times over and over on television. It must have been the Zsa Zsa Gabor in her cameo - at the time I could not tell Zsa Zsa from Eva and would think this was Mrs. Douglas from Green Acres (one of my favorite shows as a kid).
It is quite gothic in its own sense and has a fabulous story lien that I am sure would make a better psychological remake today. I do not think they knew enough about mental illness back then to make it believable or effective.
Directed by Bert I. Gordon
Starring Don Ameche, Martha Hyer, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Susan Gordon, Maxwell Reed and Wendell Corey
IMDB Synopsis:
Susan Gordon is released from an asylum where she's been confined to after the shock suffered over the fiery death of her mother. Her father has a new wife, who has only married him for the money left to him by Zsa Zsa. Susan is still haunted by her mother's memory, and her step-mother is conspiring with her lover, Maxwell Reed, to get the troubled girl to lead them to Zsa Zsa's missing diamond necklace.
