Most of the textbooks used in the school are cast-offs from other (white) schools systems and are copyrighted in the 1940's or 1950's. They are usually chauvinistic and racist, as well as insipid.

The fact that everyone gets his just deserts in an insipid shoot-'em-up in the final reel will come as no surprise. Producer-Director Roger Gorman has made some tricky, sinister horror movies in his time (The Tomb of Ligeia, The Masque of the Red Death), but the hysterical vulgarity of Bloody Mama suggests that he is more...
