Released in the ninth month of the annum 1974 Big Bad Mama can be seen as the typical feminist movie that made it in the action movie hits in the year it was released. The movie has been directed by Steve Carver and was first released in the capital city of Bismarck in North Dakota. The movie has been written by two writers, the first of them being William W. Norton while the second one being Frances Doel.
The plot of Big Bad Mama is relatively simple, as any action movie of that time might have been, but even the simplicity of the plot doesn’t undermine the quality of the movie which sees Wilma face the troubles in her life head on. Big Bad Mama is a movie about the main character Wilma who is played by Angie Dickinson and her decision to start robbing banks with a robber who goes by the name of Fred (played by Tom Skerritt).
When her husband dies Wilma is left to fend for herself and her daughters all by herself. Things aren’t so bad for she gets to handle his bootlegging business but then business goes bad and Fred appears miraculously to offer her the solution to all her problems. He asks her to join him for his next hold up of a bank and she agrees. While all this is happening Wilma decides to kidnap the daughter of a really rich man and wants to get a huge ransom out of him. The movie will show you the sentiments of the women who in those days were beginning to realize their worth in society.
