Murder, Mayhem and Madness-Pretty Maids *
28 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This picture takes the theme of perverted school personnel long before the media began focusing their attention on such people in their never ending attacks on school employees.

Correction: Rock Hudson is not a teacher in this film. He is an assistant principal, coach, and guidance counselor all in one. He starts to have relations with some of the female students and murder and mayhem result.

Roddy McDowell is the typical figure-head like principal in this mess. His secretary sounds and looks like Betty Boop.

Yes, this is 1971 and Angie Dickinson looks more beautiful than ever. Telly Savalas is the chronic smoking detective and Keenan Wynn is a dumb officer who meets a bad fate when he accidentally stumbles on to what Hudson has been doing.

The ending is ludicrous but so is the entire film.
