The Grissom Gang
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"Bloody Mama (1970) and The Grissom Gang (1971) are both based on the life story of Ma Barker, although only the first film refers to Barker by her original name. Both take place in the American South of the 1930s and feature a gang of criminals led by a domineering mother. Big Bad Mama, a more fanciful retelling of the Barker myth would follow in 1974. See 1930s nostalgia films." --Sholem Stein |
