    truly ahead of its time

    06 December 2008
    The subject matter was truly ahead of its time. The world we live in now does not resemble the world of the early 50's. Since then, we have seen hundreds of cases involving children inheriting their parent's tendencies. It was a novel idea then. The entire cast for the Bad Seed was excellent. I suffered with Mrs. Penmark, was amused by Monica, thought Leroy was hysterical and cried with Mrs. Daigle. She marvellously represented every woman who has ever buried her child. But, Miss Rhoda truly frightened me. Patty McCormack did an unmatched job of playing a demon incarnate. At times she was just too believable. Mervyn Leroy's direction along with the creepy music made the Bad Seed a very good movie.
