The campiest of the campy, 13 September 1998

A careful perusal of the cast should lead any connoisseur of trash to check this gem out immediately. You haven't lived until you've seen Mel Torme as the leader of a motorcycle gang, Elinor ("Father Knows Best") Donahue as Mamie Van Doren's kid sister, and Sheilah Graham as a nun. The piece de resistance, however, is Paul Anka's rendition of "Ave Maria." This one, in my opinion, has it all over "Plan 9 from Outer Space."
