THE HONEYMOON KILLERS



The Honeymoon Killers (1970) direction & screenplay by Leonard
Kastle with Shirley Stoler & Tony Lo Bianco




The only trailer I could find was in French, but it's an American movie, in English, and is based on a very strange true story. First of all Shirley Stoler's character is heart wrenchingly in love with a pro con artist / hustler (Tony Lo Bianco). They prey on single vulnerable women - he marries them and she pretends that she is his ever present and pushy sister. She makes him promise that he will never have sex with the women he marries and is obsessed with that factor. When he gets money out of the women she kills them and they move onto the next victim. The ending is fantastic and on the dvd the interview with the director is great.
