that and of course and be a reference to the first of two film which they do and where bette speak with an accent that meryl streep would never envy . this second film together and make 15 year after the more well remembered drama and be an obscure action comedy which do not get enough attention to even rank a nice ad in the new york time . ( investigate this film and i be stun to find an ad the size of my thumb nail in microfilmed copy at my local library ) . base upon the fact that the two of them be both oscar winner and that co star jack cassidy be a popular broadway performer and this obviously be way even below b grade to warrant such lack of publicity . review and of course and be no good . bette be see a the opening credit close plead with the bank not to forclose on her home . of course and she can not get a word in edgewise when she contact her daughter ( reva rise and who have just come off of play lucy in off broadway your a good man charlie brown ) since the phone man disconnect her . when she call back a second time and the cat be eat her son in law breakfast with the guy sit right there pay no attention and and the daughter have to rush off . then and a she be finally get around to tell her daughter what be go on and a tractor plow the house down . ernest borgnine and a the plummer take out the toilet and offer her a ride to wherever she need to go and and before he know it and she have basically become his guest . he try to get rid of her and but every time he make an attempt and she some how manages to get back in his trailer . thanks to a bumpy ride in the back of the trailer and she learn of his past a a bank robber want for escape from prison and and subtly blackmail him into train her on the art of rob bank . in a rather funny sequence and we see bette go through all sort of indignity ( run in unglamorous sweat while climb on monkey bar while and not at all look like the actress who play all those feisty warner brother heroine in the 30 and 40 . ) even margo channing would have never allow herself to be profile this way . notice a group of hippy protest the bank of new mexico and davis and borgnine use their look to disguise themselves . nobody seem to notice the line around davis mouth which make it appear she be old and so the local police be on the look out for young hippy . a funny note about reva rise look a bette daughter while she be a strange choice consider that ms. rise be obviously jewish and and ms. davis be obviously not . it one of those howlingly funny detail not consider that make bunny ohare comically bad . while john astin a her son be much more believable ( gomez addams a bette son how appropriate . ) and his one dimentional portrayal seem take from dick shawn portrayal of ethel merman stupid son in it a mad and mad and mad and mad world . a string of scantilly clad woman be on and off a the late woman in his life and make astin a cad the writer obviously use to make the point of how child use and depend on their parent too much and no matter what they be go through themselves . then and there be jack cassidy oh so stupid police commisioner . his open scene give a speech to his underling be oh so badly write while cassidy obviously be by this time become a caricturature of his off screen persona and much like john barrymore many year before . and when he openly sexually harass the seemingly willing joan delaney ( a the young new female cop assign to help him capture davis and borgnine ) and he just take the character into dimension that would have today film audiences up in arm . delaney be suppose to be smart than cassidy and but her willingness to be use in this way be destructive to her character . and the finale where all four come together be make unbelievable by what occur . the cop be present a buffoon and and davis and use the money she steal to help her worthless child and isn not too bright and either . the very last scene do have a payoff in that aspect and one of the only good developements which happen towards the end . in the early 1970 and veteran star ( barbara stanwyck and joan crawford and kate hepburn and olivia dehavilland and joan bennett and and bette ) be all work while hepburn and stanwyck pretty much remain unscathed and while bennett dark shadow be still a hit no matter what the critic think . dehavilland sensibly take on small part and but crawford and davis simply take any lead script they could get their hand on . if there be award for most embarrasing role for a veteran star and joan crawford would have win for 1970 trog and and bette would have win for 1971 bunny ohare . watch for a chance to laugh at the buffonery which take 91 minute to unravel . it evidence that the old system of hollywood wasn not too bad and and what be to follow this era of film trash could only get good .
