Product Description

Product Description

Directed by Silvio Narizzano (Georgy Girl, Loot) and produced by Hammer Films, the infamous British studio known for gothic horror classics, DIE! DIE! MY DARLING! stars the legendary Tallulah Bankhead (Lifeboat, TV’s “Batman”) in her final film performance. She plays the psychotic Mrs. Trefoile, a demented mother who terrorizes and imprisons her dead son’s fiancée, Pat (Stefanie Powers, TV’s “Hart to Hart”, Stagecoach), to avenge her son's tragic death, with the help of her bumbling gardener (Donald Sutherland, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Klute, Don’t Look Now). A domineering religious fanatic, Mrs. Trefoile grows obsessed with the spirit of her late son, who died several years earlier in an auto wreck. When her son’s former lover pays an unexpected visit, Mrs. Trefoile kidnaps the beautiful young woman, holding her hostage in the basement to “cleanse” her soul so she can be reunited with her son in heaven. Trapped and tortured, Pat must fight for her life to escape. DIE! DIE! MY D

Stephanie Powers is a young American woman who having returned to blighty, out of politeness goes to visit the mother of her dead fiancee to inform her that she is now betrothed to another. Unfortunately for Steph the elderly lady in question is a psychotic religious fundamentalist with an unhealthy preoccupation with the legacy of her departed son and resolves to punish the wicked unvirtuous american with the ultimate intention of ensuring this woman is a suitable wife for her son in the afterlife.
The performances are all pretty strong although Donald Sutherland was criminally sidelined, playing a half-wit gardener though actually the minor scenes he is involved in were undoubtedly quite poor by his usually high standard. I had never seen Yootha Joyce in a serious role before to my knowledge and with the other women in this very female led film her, Tallulah Bankhead and Powers (who was gorgeous in this) did a really good job.
The biggest let down for me and in fact what ruined it to an extent was the awful music played incessently throughout. The warning is apparent during the credits whereby the jaunty light hearted theme music was reminiscent of a made for tv Disney film. During the film potentially tense set pieces that should have been cranking up the suspense are stripped of all atmosphere by ridiculous plinky inserts. It is not an overstated point, imagine watching 'The Exorcist' with music from Hollyoaks randomly kicking in during the tense bits; for me it really overshadowed the film.
That asides some of the preachy segments from the religious mother were a little bit monotonous, a case of over egging the pudding a tad and for a 90+ min film other portions tended to drag also. So what could have been a real classic in my book becomes relegated to an interesting but somewhat flawed production.

Also known as Fanatic, this 1965 suspense thriller from Hammer Studios stars Tallulah Bankhead, the gaw-juss Stefanie Powers, Yootha Joyce, Peter Vaughan and a young Donald Sutherland.

A young American woman called Pat (Stefanie Powers) arrives in England to see her fiancee Alan (Maurice Kaufman). She tells Alan that she wishes to visit Mrs. Trefoile (Tallulah Bankhead), the mother of her former lover Stephen. Unfortunately, Stephen is now dead and, even more unfortunately for Pat, his mother is a religious fanatic who is not playing with a full deck.

Shortly after Pat arrives at Mrs. Trefoile's large house things start to go horribly wrong when Pat does not conform to Mrs. T's religious beliefs and the situation turns really nasty when Mrs. T learns that Pat plans to marry someone else. Mrs. T decides to keep Pat as a prisoner in her house and teach her the errors of her ways with the aid of her servants (who are also a few slices short of a full loaf) and a loaded pistol which she is not afraid to use if necessary. A game of cat and mouse then ensues (hence the opening credits sequence) as Pat tries to escape from her crazy captors.

Although this film is not one of Hammer's greatest efforts it is still worth watching mainly because of the good cast. The role of Mrs. Trefoile would have been perfect for Bette Davis or Joan Crawford but Tallulah Bankhead is still very good in the part and puts in a suitably wide-eyed, ranting performance. Her character is just as much a monster as Dracula, Frankenstein's creature or The Mummy.

If you like this movie then you may also wish to track down and check out Crescendo, another 1960s Hammer thriller starring sexy Stefanie Powers.

Hammer continued their trend of giving over the top monstrous roles to great Hollywood actresses passed over on their home turf for younger models. Tallulah Bankhead is magnificent as the obsessed and repressed Mrs Trefoile, relishing the outpourings of grief and visciousness, but also showing dignified restraint in the character's composed moments. Elsewhere, it's a good job Stephanie Powers is a good actress able to convey her character's mental and physical collapse so well, as the make-up department seem determined to keep her looking pristine at all times (apparently Mrs Trefoile's abhorrence of make up does not extend to eyeliner). She skillfully plays out the undermining of her character's confidence without ever sinking into bathos, and her suffering at the hands of Mrs Trefoile and her employees is well played. The four supporting characters are all excellent, although Maurice Kaufmann has little to do. Peter Vaughan and Yootha Joyce work wonders with underwritten parts. Vaughan adds depth of character to what could have just been a cardboard cut-out creep. While his character's motivations are fairly clear, Anna's are far less clear. You could wonder why she does what she does, were it not for Yootha Joyce's subtle looks and gestures. It's clear Mrs Trefoile has some sort of psychological or religious hold over her that she is powerless to resist. Last but not least, Donald Sutherland makes a good job of the young man with learning difficulties, again steering clear of the stereotype of the day.

The setting is both drab and menacing without being overdone, the tension builds nicely and the production values are high. As another reviwer says, the music is awful - Wilfred Josephs must have either completely misunderstood the brief or had a really off day. But don't be dissuaded from giving this film a go.
