This tremendous Broadway drama was transferred to the screen with pretty well its entire cast intact, which is very unusual! Nancy Carrol as the mother gives a tremendous Oscar Nominated Performance while the young Patty McCormack as the sweet but iffy young child is mesmerizing as the bad seed, a Supporting Oscar Nomination... The movie examines the whole notion that some humans are simply born bad and there is precious little that can be done. This film will haunt you in a variety of ways. Eileen Heckart also in an Oscar Nominated Performance in the supporting role will break your heart as the grieving mother of a son that was killed. Very worthy viewing!
