"Beserk"

 

 

 

 


This is a vintage movie from the 60's, circa 1968 to be exact. I saw this grand flick from the comfort of my car. It starred the venerable Joan Crawford and Ty Hardin of "Bronco" fame.

Ms. Crawford looks a bit old ( imho ) to be playing the leading lady, but Hollywood could have cared less. She also gets to snuggle with her co-star, who meets a grizzly death at the hands of Joan's daughter, played by the forgotten Judy Geeson. Ty plays a trapeeze artist while Joan is the ringmaster.

This cinema classic somewhat startled me back in those consciousness-raising times. I never have come to grips with looney-bin characters who are knocking-off the others one-by-one. And the viewer has to decide who did it. ( or whodunit? ) As always, it's the last one you would expect. Kinda like life, eh?
