Everyone must've been on drugs in the 70's to watch stuff like this. I think the main problem with this movie, besides the bad acting, directing and storyline, is the title of the film. I think the marketing department came up with the title after the film was made, and came up with a tagline to explain the title. Gotta get people into the drive-in some how. The problem with the title is it has nothing to do with the film until the second half of the movie. The title is only a subplot of the movie. You spend a lot of time wondering am I watching the wrong movie. This movie is bad. Not super bad. Unfortunately not so bad, that it's great. Just bad. Not believable at all. It apparently got Oscar nominated for best original song. And that fact makes this movie even more weirder. Why does a movie like this have a song like that. The song deserved better.

This is not a professionally made film. The acting, the direction, the story, the script, the lighting — everything is just a mess. There is an underlying condemnation of the use of drugs (which seem to initiate much of the trouble in this odd story) but I suspect you would need to be on something to get much out of this incoherent jumble of sound and images. It is hard to think that The Stepmother was ever released and shown in mainstream cinemas and quite astounding that it got an Oscar nomination; it seems little more than random that the theme song is quite sweet. At least aspiring film-makers can watch it and feel they could do a much better job.

In THE STEPMOTHER, Frank (Alejandro Rey) catches his wife Margo (Katherine Justice) having sex with another man, leading to Frank's putting an end to loverboy. After disposing of the body, Frank scowls and frowns a lot while the police investigate. Meanwhile, a carload of hipsters arrive, led by Dick (Larry Linville!). Frank continues his grimacing amidst the frolicking hepcats. Uh oh! Frank sees Margo and Dick together! Luckily, it's all just a misunderstanding. Unluckily, Frank is too jealous and enraged to care. Sorry, Dick! Hmmm, why is Frank taking you to the roof of a tall building? Eeeeaagh! THE STEPMOTHER is another drive-in ready movie from Crown International Pictures. It's perfect for its time, complete with senseless violence, ample female nudity, 1970's ambiance, and serious groov-i-tude. In addition, how could anyone not like a movie with a character called "The Goof" in it? How, indeed...

I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than what I was expecting. Mainly just wanted to see Katherine Justice * after seeing her on Barnaby Jones, Cannon, and Mannix. She was also in Prescription Murder, the Columbo pilot movie. Having John Anderson in it was a plus. It was more intriguing than what I thought it would've been. Is it a must see? No, but I liked it just fine.

I profoundly enjoyed this film. There are some glaring errors in cinematography and blocking and editing, and there is often a feeling of ineptness. The plot itself is pure melodrama and violence. The strength of the performances is what intrigues me. When you have a one shot of an actor delivering several lines, it's almost always done with gusto. These actors are throwing themselves into these pitiful roles. They are doing solid hard work here. just know that all of the criticisms are correct. The film really seems as if it was made with no professional input. But the actors are phenomenal.

At first I thought IMDb's reference to an Academy Award nomination for The Stepmother must be a mistake. But it's true, and the funny thing is that Strange Are the Ways of Love really IS the best thing about the film. Alejandro Rey is dreadful as Mexican architect Frank Delgado, a deeply pious Catholic who kills his friend Alan after he discovers him pawing wife Margo (Katherine Justice). Worse, Frank is paranoid about the intentions of his business partner Dick (Larry Linville) and ends up shoving him off the roof. Whenever the police interview Frank he almost screams guilt, figuratively speaking, but the dumb cops take an awful long time to solve what should really be a very simple case. There's a groovy score that must have already sounded five years out of date in 1972, John D. Garfield as a skin flick producer named Goof, and a couple of full frontal scenes that don't advance the narrative.

Architect Frank Delgado returns to his home in Mexico. His wealthy client Alan Richmond forces himself on his wife Margo. Frank runs into Alan on his driveway. Suspecting them having an affair, Frank kills Alan and buries his body. He escapes without being seen by a fighting couple. The police investigates Alan's strangulation death but also the young Mexican woman. Dick Hill arrives with company to talk his business partner Frank into going to a beach house which belongs to Alan. This movie starts off well with a murder. However the tension that is build up by the opening is lost as the movie struggles through a slow boring slough. This is possibly the worst looking movie I've ever seen that is nominated for an Oscar. Alejandro Rey is a pretty awful actor. The movie has a few good actors and Larry Linville could have been an interesting lead. The staging is very static and the bad direction drains away all of the tension.

THE STEPMOTHER is another tawdry skin flick put out by Crown International Pictures and directed by Hikmet Avedis. The plot is murky and complicated and opens with a murder before leading to a situation which has no kind of suspense or impact whatsoever. A bunch of characters gather at a house but not much really happens throughout. The title is something of a misnomer and refers to a sub-plot that doesn't go very far. If you're looking for exploitation values there's not much in the way of them either, with this coming across as both tame and dull.

In the 70's, you would see a lot of skin in drama and thrillers. Then there's the sex factor that goes along with it. In "The Stepmother", there is plenty of that. Alejandro Rey("The Flying Nun") plays Frank, a successful building contractor who catches his client with his wife while he was on a business trip. He kills him, then buries his body at a beach. Unbeknownst to him, there's a fighting couple that comes up later. After getting rid of the evidence, the police comes up and tells that there are two bodies at the beach. Frank knows that he killed his client, but the other body is female. That makes him more uneasy. If that is bad, it gets worse when he accidentally kills his partner in the business. That makes him more unstable. For this one, business and pleasure, don't mix. It has a great cast. But the ending was a letdown. It's worth the watch in certain ways. Only on a certain occasion. 2 out of 5 stars
