THE HONEYMOON KILERS (1970). Sleeper film based on the "Lonely Hearts" killings of the 1940's, although some of the facts were tweaked Shirley Stoler is great as Martha, the unhappy and overweight (in the articles based on the case, it seemed that Martha's weight was always listed) nurse looking for some companionship. She answers an ad and gets involved with a Giglio/Con Man (Ray)who courts lonely women and absconds with their money. Martha joins the act as Ray's sister, but her extreme jealousy and nasty temper tend to make things complicated. ***
