Entertainment Reviews:
...Potently acted by Shirley Stoler and Tony Lo Bianco...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/4 --
The reputation of this intriguing cult item far exceeds the Trivial Pursuit tidbits that it was a personal favorite of Francois Truffaut and that Martin Scorsese was the original director until he was fired 10 days into production.

Made with care, authenticity and attention to detail.

...Pleasantly twisted....The quality of being true to itself is THE HONEYMOON KILLER'S greatest strength....[Kastle] is in perfect control of his material here...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
depicts crime and violence as a moral vacuum that draws in the narcissistic and the pathetic without ever moralizing or preaching

Leonard Kastle brings a spare dignity and genuine depth of characterization to his exploitation subject.

It is one of the best and, curiously, most beautiful American movies in recent years.

Product Description:
In this stark film based on the true-life Lonely Hearts murders of the late 1940s, handsome gigolo Ray Fernandez cons lonely women out of money with the promise of marriage. When he meets lonely nurse Martha Beck, the two find themselves actually falling in love. Posing as brother and sister, the duo cross the country swindling needy women and, when necessary, killing them. As their passions become more inflamed, their crime spree grows bloodier. A stark film featuring truly unique characters and fine performances, THE HONEYMOON KILLERS was originally to have been directed by Martin Scorsese, who was replaced.
