CRAZY MAMA was one of the early movies directed by Oscar winner Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Melvin and Howard, Married to the Mob, Philadelphia, Rachel Getting Married). Produced by Roger and Julie Corman, the film follows three generations of women (played by Cloris Leachman, Ann Sothern as her mother, and Linda Purl as her daughter) on a crime spree that takes them from California to the family homestead in Arkansas. Leonard Maltin called the low-budget film "a gem… joyous, unrelentingly kitschy celebration of '50s America." Co-stars include Stuart Whitman, Jim Backus, Donny Most, Sally Kirkland, and newcomers Dennis Quaid and Bill Paxton in their movie debuts.

Leachman won an Oscar for her role in Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show, and she won seven Emmys over the course of her long career, in classic TV series The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Malcolm in the Middle, among others. She made her screen debut in the 1955 film noir Kiss Me Deadly, scored memorable comic turns in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety, and also co-starred in Lovers and Other Strangers, Daisy Miller, Music of the Heart, and Bad Santa.
