A domineering mother and her sheltered son fly face first into love, murder, and the meaning of family in this black comedy based on Arthur Kopit's Broadway play. Wealthy Madame Rosepettle (Rosalind Russell) and 25-year-old Jonathan (Robert Morse) arrive at the Port Royal Hotel on a tiny Caribbean island with the man of the family in tow, literally; he's been dead for many years and his stuffed corpse travels with them in a coffin. Madame is the kind of woman who keeps piranhas and Venus Flytrap plants as pets, and controls her son's life down to deciding what meal he'll have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (a hamburger and a maraschino cherry). Jonathan is kept indoors at all times and isn't allowed to mix with the outside world, though the hotel "babysitter," Rosalie (Barbara Harris), slips in through the window and flirts with the easily rattled young man. Madame is being courted by drunken millionaire Commodore Roseabove (Hugh Griffith), and while she welcomes his advances, her attention is diverted by trying to make sure that her son stays "pure." Rosalie isn't one to be put off by the meddling matriarch, so she doubles her efforts to get at Jonathan, who wants Rosalie too but might be pushed over the edge by the attention.

    Beautiful Print of Terrible Obscure Movie You Need to Own

    Posted by Kevin Howell on Jun 22nd 2021

    Yes, it's a terrible movie, BUT... it's a great print (vibrant colors, crisp image). If you're a film buff, you know how obscure this movie is. You'll want to see it because you're thinking... "How bad could it be with that amazing cast, including ROSALIND RUSSELL, Robert Morse, Barbara Harris, Jonathan Winters, Hugh Griffith and Lionel Jeffries)... and produced by Ray Stark...and based on a Drama Desk award-winning play that was directed by Jerome Robbins? Well, it's pretty terrible. It feels endless and it's less than 90 minutes long. Imagine Rosalind Russell playing AUNTIE MAME but without any of the wit. If you own CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC, BOOM, THE BIG CUBE, and other so-bad-they're-good movies, you're gonna want to get OH DAD, POOR DAD... It's not a good movie by a long shot, but you're going to want to own this very obscure curio... and considering how rare it is to find it.... you're in luck because the print is beautiful.
