What's the Matter with Helen? (1971)

High camp, indeed!
This is a dynamic duo of campy horror flicks featuring major stars in just the sort of film we don't expect to see them in!

At times, Shelly Winters chews the scenery (and we love her for it) -- but it's Debbie Reynolds who truly shines in What's the Matter With Helen, definitely the better of the two movies.

What's the Matter With Helen features great costumes, sets, music and dance. So, if you are a fan of the Busby Berkley movies of the 1930's or big Hollywood musicals of any era, this DVD belongs in your collection!

Just wonderful!

Just as I remembered it
This is a little cheesy, but it's old and good,,,I recommend it.

JUST GREAT!!!
Going along the lines of question titles like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", "What's the Matter with Helen?" and "Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?" is campy, macabre delight at its very, very best. "Helen" was written by Henry Farrell who less than 10 years earlier penned the script for "Baby Jane" and "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" (Bette Davis movies) and "Helen" is along that vein......set in the 1930's with two female stars at odds with one another. Debbie Reynolds is great in the film, but Winters is simply amazing. I remember seeing the trailer for this film on TV in 1971 when the film was released and seeing Shelley WInters playing that piano with that "crazy look" on her face gave me the willies. It is a picture that is first-class in every sense of the word. "Whoever Slew Auntie Roo" was made in England and it shows. But it is still great fun nonetheless, as a take-off on Hansel and Gretl with Winters playing the evil witch who holds two children captive. It is indeed suspenseful and fun to watch at the same time. Winters again gives a tour-de-force performance. The DVDs are perfectly remastered, especially "Helen" whose colors leap out from the screen at you. A great midnight double feature that is not to be missed! This one is well worth the money. Somebody finally did something right!!
