Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler) is sullen, overweight, and heartbreakingly alone. Through Aunt Carrie's Friendship Club she strikes up a correspondence with Ray Fernandez (Tony Lo Bianco), a suave, charismatic smooth-talker who could be the man of her dreams - or a wicked con artist bound for trouble. Based on a true story and filmed in documentary-style black and white, The Honeymoon Killers is a stark portrayal of the desperate lengths to which a lonely heart will go to find true love, from brutally immoral killings to a passion that transcends all bounds.
