OUR MOTHERS HOUSE (1967)

REFUSING TO TAKE MEDICINE OWING TO HER FUNDAMENTALIST BELIEFS, MOTHER HOOK DIES, LEAVING HER SEVEN ORPHANED CHILDREN TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES. NOT WANTING TO BE PUT IN FOSTER HOMES, THE SIBLINGS BURY THEIR MOTHER IN THE GARDEN AND SUCCESSFULLY KEEP HER DEATH A SECRET. WHEN THEIR LONG-LOST FATHER RETURNS, IT'S INITIALLY A HAPPY REUNION, AS HE HELPS PERPETUATE THE FRAUD. BUT SOON HE SHOWS HIS TRUE COLOURS - DRINKING, CAROUSING AND SCHEMING TO SELL THE HOUSE. STARRING DIRK BOGARDE, MARK LESTER, PAMELA FRANKLIN, YOOTHA JOYCE.
