TWWCFTS is a truly freaky 70's psycho-sexual feminist drama (written & directed by men interestingly), featuring incest, castration, pithy dialogue, mermaid tattoos and a fantastic central performance from Millie Perkins as the mentally damaged Molly, the vengeful 'Witch' of the title who wrecks violent retribution upon dominant, brutish men from the entertainments industry. The empty beaches & promenades of the coastal town setting add depth, substance and ambiance in the background to unsettling effect.
If made today starring Jennifer Lawrence and helmed by David Fincher, it would most likely win 10 Golden Globes and 25 Oscars. But back then (the dark 80's) the powers-that-be (and still are) saw fit to condemn to the bin of the banned. Shameful & disgraceful. Now go watch!
