Grissom gang - niente orchidee per miss Blandish (1971)
Grissom Gang è un remake del noto melodramma britannico del 1949 Niente orchidee per Miss Blandish. Kim Darby interpreta una debuttante degli anni '20 che viene rapita e tenuta in ostaggio per un riscatto. I suoi rapitori sono i Grissom, una famiglia composta da sadici e imbecilli, capeggiata da Irene Dailey, clone di Ma Barker. Uno dei Grissom, interpretato da Scott Wilson, si affeziona alla sua prigioniera, provocando una sanguinosa rottura dell'unità familiare. Sia La banda dei Grissom che l'originale No Orchids For Miss Blandish sono ispirati al best seller di James Hadley Chase, anche se nessuno dei due film mantiene il finale originale di Chase.
