Coolidge Award Repertory Screening in honor of Jonathan Demme, recipient of the 2010 Coolidge Award

Another Roger Corman-produced cult classic. Cloris Leachman stars as Melba, a mother who is forced to flee California after losing her Long Beach beauty parlor. The film, set in the 1950s, follows Melba’s crime spree across America as she travels with her mother (Ann Sothern), pregnant daughter (Linda Purl), and her daughter’s greaser boyfriend (Don Most). Crazy Mama is a humorous look at three generations of women hitting the road with no reservations.
