You'll Like My Mother Movie Review 1972

Surprisingly tense thriller finds preggers Francesca (Duke) traveling to Minnesota to meet the family of her recently deceased husband.

She meets the rest of the clan, including mentally retarded Kathleen (Allen) and homicidal Kenny (Thomas). When she learns the truth about these various relations, all the strain pushes Fran into labor and no one's about to let her go to the hospital. Adapted from the novel by Naomi A. Hintze.
