Oh what a cast for this very bizarre drama that may have gone for a cult following but ended up not getting it. Nicolas Coster, seen on about every soap opera ever produced between the 1960's and '90s, and a guest on many prime time shows, co-stars with Robert Fields in this film. Coster has taken over an exclusive country inn where the very wealthy meet, and being broke besides to do something drastic about that. College chum Fields arrives and they create a very bizarre scheme to terrorize the guests.

I recognized many of the guests which included Logan Ramsey and his wife Anne (long before someone tried to throw her off the train), "Guiding Light" patriarch William Roerick (who also had a successful stage career) and "Benson's" James Noble playing a priest. There's also a gay couple wearing matching pajamas in spite of their major difference in age. Jack Warden comes on later in the film as the new caretaker and really turns the country in upside down which results in some violent twists involving explosions and the male guest marching with rifles to confront the mayhem.

One thing that isn't clear is what the point of all this was, and that is what weakens the film overall. Roerick gives and takes a lot of abuse, playing the most pretentious of the men, a far cry from his role of Henry Chamberlain, one of the most gentle wealthy businessman on daytime. The Ramseys are great together, with "Mama" appearing to be quite glamorous in her part. I can say that I enjoyed it more for the familiar players (including a young Linda Blair!), but as an exploration of the desire to destroy the old patriarchy (and basically create a new one), it falls short and ends up being somewhat disappointing. A misfire that I'm glad I didn't skip but couldn't sit through again.
