The Grissom Gang

The Grissom Gang is a dark and gripping adaptation of the classic British melodrama No Orchids For Miss Blandish, set in the 1920s. Kim Darby portrays a society debutante who finds herself kidnapped by a twisted family of criminals: the Grissoms. Led by their ruthless matriarch (Irene Dailey), this clan of sadists and fools will stop at nothing to secure the ransom for their captive.Among the family, Scott Wilson's character forms an unusual bond with the innocent hostage, leading to a tense and unpredictable disintegration of the Grissoms' already fragile unity. The film, though inspired by James Hadley Chase's best-selling novel, deviates from the original storyline by altering its conclusion. This cinematic adaptation offers a haunting exploration of power dynamics, family loyalty, and the devastating consequences of greed and violence in a bygone era.
