Product Description
Product Description
American cult classic based on the true story of multiple murderers Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler) and Raymond Fernandez (Tony Lo Bianco). Raymond makes a living conning lonely women out of their savings. Martha, originally one of his targets, eventually becomes his partner and, acting as his sister, accompanies him on a marriage-and-murder spree.
From Amazon.co.uk
Though it was pre-produced by Martin Scorsese, who left the project after arguments with the producers, The Honeymoon Killers wound up being written and directed by Leonard Kastle, one of cinema's great one-hit wonders. The Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer of 1969, The Honeymoon Killers follows hefty nurse Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler, who looks like a humourlessly malevolent Roseanne) and her low-rent gigolo lover Raymond Fernandez (Tony Lo Bianco) as they take up serial murder for profit and passion, luring middle-aged women into marriage through lonely-hearts ads, then killing them and raiding their savings. Based on a genuine crime case history, it is filmed in the candid-camera style of a Frederick Wiseman documentary. The intense scenes (such as the couple's frightening love-play: escalating arguments that end in awkward killings) unfold with a fly-on-the-wall dryness, showcasing the extraordinary acting of the leads and their cameo victims. A rare film in which genuine romantic love does not excuse the central couple's amoral behaviour, this still manages to generate some sympathy for the truly monstrous Martha. The washed-out black and white photography and sometimes scratchy soundtrack (the score is sampled from Mahler) have a deliberately amateurish feel which adds to the film's chilling power, lodging it into the memory.
On the DVD: Along with a lurid trailer and gallery of images are filmographies for Stoler, Lo Bianco and (redundantly) Kastle. The widescreen transfer is excellent, representing perfectly the film's rough-hewn look but also bringing out a lot of detail--like Stoler's freckles, which have looked like grain on video releases. --Kim Newman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 31 Jan. 2010
Format: DVD
This film from 1969 is a stark look at the lives of Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, otherwise known by the press as 'the lonely hearts killers'. This film seems to hover between a documentary style along with a normal amateur movie, and is shot in grainy black and white, which gives it an added atmosphere; it is really quite good. Shirley Toler and Tony Lo Bianco who play the leads are quite believable as the evil pair.
Although only convicted for three murders it was rumoured at the time and is usually assumed that there were a lot more than this. This film sticks quite closely to the facts and doesn't sensationalize the story as so often happens nowadays. Raymond is a man who cons women out of money and valuables with the promise of mariage, but things change when he comes across Martha Beck. The two set themselves up as brother and sister to fool their victims, who they are quite prepared to dispose of if things don't go right. Although this film was originally classified at a high viewing age it really should be dropped to a 15 certificate for these days.
This is well worth viewing if you are into true crime stories and is a cult classic. If you look on the internet you can find more out about the couple and their executions, also I believe there are a couple of books on the case.
