The Grissom Gang
The Grissom Gang is a remake of the well-known 1949 British melodrama No Orchids For Miss Blandish. Kim Darby plays a 1920s-era debutante who is abducted and held for ransom. Her captors are the Grissoms, a family included sadists and idiots, and also headed by Ma Barker duplicate Irene Dailey. Among the Grissoms, played by Scott Wilson, takes a liking to his detainee, which results in a bloody break down of the family unit. Both The Grissom Gang and the initial No Orchids For Miss Blandish were inspired by the record-breaker by James Hadley Chase, though neither movie maintains Chase's initial ending.
