Reception

Diabolique magazine said "The acting is fine and it’s a great concept... but the movie is never as much fun as you want it to be. They didn’t quite get the story right – the pace is too slow, unlike Big Bad Mama where there’s lots of action, here it’s mostly hanging around houses, and there’s no driving narrative. Also, who wants to watch a three girls film where the guys triumph?" [1]

In a contemporary review for the Los Angeles Times, Dennis Hunt "lamented Gloria Grahame’s participation in Mama’s Dirty Girls, recalling her past successes as a “top film star,” including an Academy Award for her supporting role in The Bad and the Beautiful (1952). Though Hunt criticized the film as a “tawdry trifle,” he asserted that Grahame’s performance was sometimes impressive."[2]
