Three Bad Sisters (1959)

With a title like Three Bad Sisters you would expect some ridiculous, melodramatic trash.  And you won’t be disappointed.  Things start out ridiculous right off the bat with a title sequence ripped right off of a dime store crime novel and what sounds almost like a parody of noirish jazz.    After that we are introduced to the three Craig sisters (no relation to your reviewer) one after the other on the day of their father’s death.  Valerie Craig (Kathleen Hughes of Cult of the Cobra) hears the news over the radio while with some sleazy boat hand.  You can see the perverse wheels spinning into motion as she hears the details.  Her father was in a plane crash.  The only survivor being pilot Jim Norton (John Bromfield of Revenge of the Creature).  Valerie hatches a plan to use Jim to try to gain control of her rich father’s estate.  Somehow this involves forged contracts and Jim seducing the good sister Lorna (Sara Shane of Tarzan’s Greatest Adventure).  The plot isn’t really all that important I suppose.  It’s just an excuse to get Jim in the house with Valerie, Lorna and sex-pot Vicki (Marla English of The She-Creature).  Also along for the fun is crazy aunt Martha (Madge Kennedy of The Day of the Locust).
