Mervyn LeRoy’s bold psychological thriller adapted from Maxwell Anderson’s play.

Nancy Kelly confronts her crispy clean dress wearin’ skipping little psychopathic child Rhoda (Patty McCormack) in a scene where both mother and child devolve into the realm of ‘hysterical’ over the truth behind poor Claude Daigle’s brutal death, prompted by his winning the penmanship medal.

A basket of evil hugs

I was going to use Eileen Heckert’s compelling performance as the besotted mournful Hortense Daigle, but I couldn’t resist this climactic scene instead…

Also starring The Bad Seed’s 1956 nefarious little psychopath Rhoda, Patty McCormack as Edie, Shayne’s younger, naive yet ethical lil sister. Cast includes Harry Dean Stanton as Spook and Jeremy Slate as Lon. With a score by Les Baxter that makes this cheesy 60s exploit more fun.

“Nothing is more vicious than a scorned, guilt ridden blonde!”
