What's the matter with Helen? She's a raving lunatic, and given that she's
played by Shelley Winters in 1971, she's obese, to boot. It doesn't help that
Helen and her pal Adelle (Debbie Reynolds) are both mothers of sons who are
convicted murderers. When they move to Hollywood to start over, Adelle moves
beyond it (grandstanding in some 15 minutes of song-and-dance numbers with the
children she's teaching) but Helen turns into an evangelical nut. High camp
without much comedy value.
