Leonard Kastle's one and only foray into feature films, a memorable one. Based on a true serial-murder case concerning an oddly matched man and woman (physically, a Jack and Mrs. Sprat) who preyed on elderly women and their bank accounts, it's related with a chilling matter-of-factness, but with sufficient dwelling on details to work up considerable pity for the victims. The poverty-row production, with its tinny sound and milky black-and-white, in some ways blunts the impact, but in another way intensifies the tawdriness. Shirley Stoler, Tony LoBianco.
