Suspicious-acting man brings home glamorous new wife to meet his equally suspicious daughter, who harbors a psychotic side; turns out Wife #1 burned to death in a most suspicious fire. Over-the-top screamer with a terribly undistinguished cast: bloated Don Ameche--still acting as if he were reading his lines from cue-cards--joined by Martha Hyer and Zsa Zsa Gabor! Pallid B-movie outing from director and co-producer Bert I. Gordon, filmed in gloppy Pathécolor (with sets designed by a team who apparently loved the color red). Robert Aldrich was Gordon's production partner, but this is a big step down from "Baby Jane". Tired and depressing the entire way. *1/2 from ****
