And isn't great when the dreams of cinema come to life? If any babysitter had done that -- well, I would have gone to bed early. Big fat scardy cat. I do remember that "The Nanny" was quite a hit with the hardier kids at my school, though. Thanks!

I just got this one from the library and perhaps if things slow down for me during the next week or so I'll be able to watch it before its due date. I haven't seen it in years. It doesn't have anything to do with Aldrich, but I had my own formative, disturbing exposure to Ms. Davis in her "hag horror" phase myself. I must not have been much older than 8 or 9 when a babysitter decided it would be fun to watch <i>the Nanny</i> while looking over my brother and I. Now that is NOT a film for a kid to see while he's entrusted to the care of an adult he doesn't know very well. Great stuff, Bob.

And I think you undersell your ability to deal with movies intelligently-- the vivid descriptions in your <i>Baby Jane</i> piece have me halfway out the door to finally purchase the DVD and revisit this one! Thanks so much for taking part! Bob, that’;s what’s been exciting to me about this focus on Aldrich– the discovery of things I didn’t realize about the films I’d already seen, and the disocvery of great new films (like Hustle) that I’d never seen before (and there are several left to be discovered.)
