Bad Seed

Talk all you want about the man and the woman -- but please don´t tell about the girl!

Rhoda Penmark (Patty McCormack) is a well-mannered 8-year-old little lady - and an efficient, unfeeling killer. And in this spellbinding chronicle of evil, whatever Rhoda wants, she ruthlessly gets. Her mother Christine (Nancy Kelly), reluctantly made to see her offspring´s moral blindness at work, is heartrendingly torn between the love for the child she bore and grief for Rhoda´s victims.

From Maxwell Anderson´s stage hit, The Bad Seed ticks like a time bomb under the skillful direction of Mervyn LeRoy, who cast several Broadway production originals, including Kelly (recreating the role that won her a Tony), McCormack and Eileen Heckart. their harrowing performances captured three of this suspenseful movie´s four Academy Award nominations - and make this thriller one of the great ones.
