Traumatized girl returns to the scene of the crime after released from a convent...
Horrible/Brilliant
If Bert I. Gordon directed a masterpiece, it would have to be this. Not only does it have the best cast of all his schlock operas, it has the best plot. Little Susan Gordon (Bert's daughter) is released from a "convent" three years after her mother's mysterious death to find dad Don Ameche(!) married to her one time governess (Martha Hyer). Hyer and her creepy ex-lover rekindle their romance while trying to eliminate both Ameche and Gordon. Gordon meanwhile is menaced by hallucinations of her mother (Zsa Zsa Gabor). Ameche appears to be taking this all very seriously and Hyer plays her sultry vixen bit to the hilt. Gabor has virtually no dialogue. The once great character actor Wendall Corey has a very outlandish cameo has Gabor's lawyer. It's horrible, but by director Gordon's standards it's brilliant.
