About Bad Penny
An hard-core farce about a niece who inherits her dead uncle's money, but has to find it before collecting. Standing in Penny's way is her wicked, vile aunt who would inherit everything if something were to happen to Penny. The evil aunt hatches many plots to kill Penny off.
Directed by Chuck Vincent, Bad Penny leans on a strong ensemble — Samantha Fox, Molly Malone, Don Peterson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1978.
