Plot
Described by Kopit as a "farce in three scenes", the story involves an overbearing mother who travels to a luxury resort in the Caribbean, bringing along her son and her deceased husband, preserved and in his casket.
Production
Although filming was completed by July, 1965, the movie was shelved for re-editing and the shooting of additional scenes after it was poorly received during previews. New scenes were directed by Alexander Mackendrick. An entirely new music score was also added. The film was released in February 1967. It was the last film produced by Seven Arts Productions and released by Paramount Pictures following the purchasing of Warner Bros. by Seven Arts in November 1966.
