"Dont' Call Me Mother" is the story of a woman grasping to keep her son in her life--and her daughter-in-law out.
Agnes Moorehead plays Lori, a domineering single mom with a 25 year-old son named Larry. Lori thinks that the life that she and her son share is wonderful, but then Larry ruins it by getting a girlfriend. When he brings Roberta home to meet his mother, the meeting doesn't go well. Lori immediately begins a campaign of emotional blackmail to break them up, but it doesn't work. Larry and Roberta marry over his mother's objections, but when Larry has doubts about his new bride, he makes the mistake of going back to mother for advice.

Wow, that was one creepy performance by Agnes Moorehead. Lori might be one of the most warped characters in OTR history!
I also enjoyed Cathy Lewis's smoky voice.

I think the mother probably would've preferred him to be homosexual....
