Safe Return Doubtful

Set in a Florida trailer park for the elderly, this coarse tale tells of the life and peculiar powers of a young woman who has fallen hard times, called ‘Too Much’, a girl who grew up with her anarchist granddaddy in the Florida swamplands and whose name refers to her colossal bosom and backside.
Too Much spends her days winding up the assortment of misfits who live in the trailer park, and it is in the invention of this set of characters, Crews works his wizardry.
She works her charm on the trailer park owner, Stump, with his amputated arm, and he soon finds himself ‘knee deep in kink’.
The tentative plot, such as it is, is that Too Much is planning a Mayday celebration, with dancing and costumes, to brighten the lives of the old folk, enlisting the help of a retired carpenter, a former bank president, and an scratchy old pickpocket.
Its not Crews at his best, but it is fun. Less literary wit, more like Sid James and Barbara Windsor – but nothing wrong with that.
