Girls, Seventy Years Ago Tonight On Broadway, Theater Was Changed Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Just look at the hysteria on Nancy Kelly's face!  And it is only going to get worse, as her killer child digs in her heels, with those shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Nancy, at this point, is just beginning to realize that child Patty, aka Rhoda Penmark, is indeed a very dangerous child.

                                          Yes, darlings, tonight, seven decades ago, "The Bad Seed" opened on Broadway.  And theater has never been the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             If only it would get a Broadway revival today.  But how could you match this perfect cast?  I doubt one could.

                                             Patty McCormack is the only one still alive.  So, Happy Anniversary, Patty! Thanks to film there is an approximation, and an excellent one of that stage performance, since the camera treats the film like a staged play, especially within the interior scenes.

                                                Darlings, if you have never seen it, you will have the fun of your life.

                                                And when Nancy Kelly drops the drinking glass--oh, my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
