Actually didn't have many reasons to see 'The Grissom Gang'. It popped up in my recommended for you section, being on a roll with seeing many films of the genre and loving older films. Did think though that it was an odd recommendation, seeing as it is nothing like any of the other films. My other main reason was Robert Aldrich, who had a dark imagination, who did make some very good films, such as 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane', 'Attack' and from memory 'Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte'. 'The Grissom Gang' really isn't one of Aldrich's best films sadly. Actually for me it's one of his worst and doesn't have enough of his style, so it doesn't really feel like it was directed by him. The film does showcase lead actress Kim Darby, best known to me as the lead actress opposite John Wayne in 'True Grit', very well and she is easily one of the better things about this pretty mediocre efforts that has too many flaws to recommend it. Sorry to anybody that disagrees. Much of the acting, even with the problematic character writing and script that the actors rise above valiantly, is very well done. Darby was seldom this dynamite and there are standout performances from Scott Wilson and Irene Daily, especially Daily with some bone-chilling moments. Did feel that there were moments of genuine grit, with some darkly humorous moments. Aldrich's dark imagination sometimes shines and the music is decent enough. The ending also picks up finally but sadly it takes a long time to get there. However, most of Aldrich's direction feels rushed and indifferent and 'The Grissom Gang' is shot with a cheap made for television look. The villains are pretty cartoonish in writing and are more buffoonish than sinister. It doesn't start off particularly promisingly, quite choppy, and the very leaden middle act feels endless. There could have been a lot more tension and suspense, the dull pacing and muddled tone compromising things. It doesn't feel particularly focused tonally, never seeming to be properly sure as to whether be comedy or thriller. 'The Grissom Gang' attempts both in less than seamless shifts and does so with only sporadically amusing moments in a mostly turgid script and nowhere near enough thrills. Summing up, rather lacklustre. 4/10

A few years before Patty Hearst was kidnapped and then joined her kidnappers on their crime spree we had The Grissom Gang. Based on a British film and book the scene shifts from working class Great Britain to the midwest of the Depression. Kim Darby light years from Mattie Ross in True Grit plays the spoiled debutante daughter of Wesley Addy who gets kidnapped after the first gang that kidnaps her botches a robbery and kills the man with her. Then The Grissom Gang kills the original bunch and takes over. Addy pays the ransom, but his daughter doesn't come home. The brains behind this crew is Ma Grissom who is played with extreme malevolence by Irene Dailey. She wants her killed, but her lunkhead son Scott Wilson wants her for his very own. He's not real good with the social skills. At first Darby is playing for time, but eventually she works out a strange relationship with Wilson. She knows he's keeping her alive and for the first time it isn't because of her wealth that he's interested in her. A new experience for her even though she's the object of the affection of a stone cold killer very expert with a knife. The Grissom Gang is one of the bloodiest films I've ever seen so if your taste runs to violence this is the film for you. It also really captures the essence of Kansas City in the 20s, a very wide open town run by political boss Tom Pendergast. Scott Wilson turns in the best performance. It's a difficult part because you never forget he's a killer. But you almost feel sorry for him with his lack of social skills and his puppy love crush on Kim Darby. There's also good role for Robert Lansing who plays a private detective who unravels the whole mystery about Kim Darby's whereabouts. All in all a good gangster film is The Grissom Gang.

The word subtle would not come to mind while describing "The Grissom Gang". What would come to mind is the phrase "over the top". The movie seems excessive in both it's violence and length. Shoot first, and never consider any consequences, is the gang's mode of operation. Almost everything seems to revolve around "Ma Grissom", a frightful Mother, played to bone chilling perfection by Irene Dailey. Occasional dark humor breaks the violence, but ultimately this is more a character study of a dysfunctional family, and none of the characters including the kidnapped heiress and her monstrous Father, are remotely likable. - MERK

The Grissom Gang should have been a great film. WIth its vicious comic sense, hard-boiled crime story and Gothic overtones, and of course its episodes of wild violence, this would have made a wonderful 80 minute B-movie. Unfortunately, at 125 minutes, it's way overlong. The middle seems to go on and on, during which not much happens beyond the ersatz courting of the kidnap victim by her psycho-hick kidnapper. Within any one scene, the pacing is rather good, creating a tension that leads one on for at least one viewing; but the pacing scene-to-scene is atrocious, and there are a lot of scenes that should have been cut or reduced to mere snippets. The role of the private detective should have been broader, but he doesn't really figure into the story until the final third and by then there's no real reason to get interested in his point of view. The kidnap victim's changes of heart are not well handled, partly because the role is given to Kim Darby, an unattractive actress of limited range. The acting throughout is intentionally over the top, rather as we saw from the AIP gangster films of the same era (eg., St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Bloody Mama), but those films used the broad performances to quicken the pace. Here the saggy pacing allows the camp of the performances to appear unintentional and thus flawed. Aldritch, taking his cue from the imprisonment of the kidnap victim, has given the film a sense of stuffy claustrophobia - most of the film seems to take place in small rooms. If the film were shorter and the drama heightened by more focused performances, this could have been effective, but as it is, one rushes to the window gasping for air after the movie's over. Finally, one has to note the confusing soundtrack which, though original, manages to sound cut-and-paste. Aldritch can certainly take credit for the best of the film, but he has to take blame for the worst of it as well. He seems to be trying to make James Hadley Chase into another William Faulkner, and I'm afraid that can't be done. Aldritch needed to let Chase be Chase and make a tight slam-bang actioner; if he wanted to do Faulkner's "Sanctuary," he should have bought the rights to that novel instead.

Sweaty performances, indeed! Did director Robert Aldrich turn extra spotlights onto his cast to recreate that simmering Kansas heat? In any case, Scott Wilson's rendition of Slim Grissom is uncanny, but the rest of the cast keep up more than plenty, of whom I would specifically like to mention Kim Darby, Irene Dailey and Tony Musante. You don't like the characters? Really? Do you never watch crime films, or do you like them as uninspired or flat as they can be? If you want to see a film about unflinching criminals, intense, gut wrenching drama, and a good dose of action, 'The Grissom Gang' is a one you may not miss. Touching on several intriguing issues (such as Stockholm syndrome), Aldrich pulls a tour de force on the viewer that has virtually everything, without it being too much. And then there's that bleak, bleak, bleak sense of humor that one might at times almost mistake for tastelessness... Plotwise, there were some silly decisions made by the otherwise brilliant gang (two murders that could be all too easily linked to them) - my only point of critique, actually. And I hád to rewind that casual briefcase knockdown by Robert Lansing a couple of times; be sure you don't miss it, even if it is just a bit of comic relief. A big 9 out of 10.

The Grissom Gang is the best film based on a James Hadley Chase novel hands down! Been awhile since I saw it but it's as great as when I saw it the first time. It was a surprise when I realized that Slim was played by Maggie's dad from The Walking Dead (Scott Wilson). He is such a great actor!

Robert Aldrich's lurid film has a lot going for it and a lot not going for it. On the plus side there is a dynamite performance by Kim Darby as a kidnap victim who may or may not be starting to enjoy her grim predicament. On the minus side, the gang of kidnappers, a Ma Barker-type and her motley brood, simply is not threatening ENOUGH to make you believe Darby is in a lot of danger. I couldn't help wondering why she didn't just up and leave. Another deficit is the TV-movie feel of the whole thing -- this is definitely NOT Aldrich's most stylish film. Irene Dailey is fine as the mother, but it would have been more fun had the role been played by Cloris Leachman or Shelley Winters. Featuring Scott Wilson, Tony Musante, Robert Lansing and, in a brief but foul-mouthed cameo, Connie Stevens!

I especially love the 1970's film making era, and with a seasoned director such as Robert Aldrich managing the cameras, I was sure I would not be disappointed with the Grissom Gang. The opening panoramic scene which takes place at a gas station/general store was vintage 1970's film making style, and I thought the film was off to a great start. The movie takes place in the 1930's era and stars Kim Darby as Barbara Blandish who plays a rich and spoiled heiress who is kidnapped by a crew of semi smart gangsters who are led by a tough talking Ma Grissom played by Irene Dailey. Ma Grissom's slow witted son Slim Grissom who has never had physical contact of any kind with the opposite sex becomes infatuated with their kidnap victim Barbara. While in captivity Barbara is shown several times screaming her rich pretty little head off, thus the scream queen summary. The dim witted Slim takes a lot of verbal abuse from the other gang members as they like to make fun of his so called friendship with Barbara when in fact they know that after the ransom is paid, they will have to dispose of Barbara as she is the only living witness to their crime. No plot is complete without including a weasel eyed gang member in the story line and who better to play this part than the venerable character actor Tony Musante who plays Eddie Hagan. Eddie expresses that he is more than up to the task of killing Barbara when the time is right because he knows how much that will just torment Slim who has fallen in love with Barbara. As the law closes in on the gang, Barbara continues to try and escape and Slim promises to protect his new found love from the other gang members. Tempers flare amongst the gang members, and the audience is anticipating one of those great Bonnie and Clyde shootouts with the law. Director Robert Aldrich includes a number of car chases and shoot outs in the Grissom Gang, the three main characters are exposed to the audience for who they are and who they believe in. I wouldn't want to spoil a good ending so you will just have to watch it. I would not call this a great movie, but it is certainly worth a Sunday matinée watch. I give it a 6 out of 10, and I thank Robert Aldrich for another good film on his extensive resume which includes the classic and hard to find on DVD Choirboys, as well as box office bonanzas The Longest Yard, and the Dirty Dozen.

Nice DVD box artwork, yes? And I think Aldrich has an intriguing personal story. I have a good amount of respect for Aldrich's Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, and I think Kiss Me Deadly is more intriguing then good. The Big Knife however is dreadful. So Aldrich has a spotty record. So how's The Grissom Gang? Feeble, amateurish, plodding, clichéd. The un-cast-able talents of Kim Darby are seen here. She's kidnapped before the credits (with a cheesy overdesigned typeface) are even over, and then the movie enters a holding pattern, before coming to a complete standstill. Some people hit the '70s and thrived. Others hit the '70s and it was all over. I picked this up this for $1.98 based on my esteem for Aldrich. There's still no way around it- it's terrible.

Robert Aldrich made his impact upon me through The Killing of Sister George. I see he made Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, which also examines the private aging of people with a public image. The Grissom Gang supplements the Patty Hearst story of the 70's; however, the IMDb site identifies an under-the-counter novel from the thirties as this movie's source material. This fourth commercial failure film sounded the death knell of the Aldrich independent studio, Killing of Sister George being one of the prior failures. It's a brilliantly made movie, brilliantly acted as well, somewhere between trashy and operatic, but the annoyance factor is too great. Once you assume a cynic's personality there are no surprises here. Daddy's daughter meets the mamma's boy... there could have been an interesting love story there... they both are overgrown insulated children. I wish there was more room for them to respond. In terms of story cohesion, though, the problem I see is that: keeping alive the kidnapped victim is not what causes the kidnappers to be caught. Please note: I read Gary Morris's recent review of this film and see it under a different and far more favorable light. Also, rather than lifting from the current headlines, this 1971 film anticipated the Patty Hearst media circus which began in 1974.
