Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feeling So Sad (Paramount 1967, Rosalind Russell)
Offbeat black comedy with Russell as Mme. Rosepettle, the domineering mom who leads her dead husband (stuffed and in a casket), their bizarre 25-year-old ‘baby,’ and his oversexed nanny on a vacation in the Caribbean. Weird fun, based on Arthur L. Kopit’s stage play.
