It's in the book, and I believe that it's brought up in the movie, that the Daigles are "older" and waited a long time for a child. I always assumed that Mrs. Daigle was already a drunk. Her failure to produce an heir when she was younger, and perhaps her late-age marriage (that's not clear) could have caused her drinking. The way Heckert played her, I feel that Mrs. D was already a mess long before she lost her only child.
Imagine the hopeless wreck she became AFTER losing her only child.

One should ask the question, why Mrs Daigle became a drunk to begin with?

William Hopper was fairly believable as the hubby in TBS, since he was gone a lot but he still was under the spell of Rhoda, and think about all those fancy tea sets he would send her with that dangerous and highly flammable excelsior. For shame!
Some fun fact, they still make that packing material, more eco friendly. Back then packing peanuts and bubble wrap haven't been invented.

You forgot I was at the library. Did you want to get me kicked out for good and have them confiscate my library card, Hamradio? But thanks for your assistance!
Forgot how uptight they can be.

I'd rather see the life story of British child serial killer, Mary Bell who strangled to death a couple of neighborhood boys who were four and three years of age, when she was about ten years old herself, in the district of Newcastle upon Tyne. Her story is even more chilling than Rhoda Penmark's. She was finally released from prison and under many pseudonyms could even be living next door to anyone on this forum right now!
Seem to be lazy about making one, only found this 6 minute short.

I thought the movie "Orphan" (2009) was about a psychotic child serial killer, turned out to be a deranged 33 year old midget that escaped from an insane asylum. Hate being deceived like that.

I feel I have a really big gap in my movie knowledge that I don't know more about nudist films. I'm even confused as to the terminology, since in my feverish little mind as a teen, I thought a nudist camp was somewhere you visited intermittently like on weekends, and a nudist colony lived there all together like a commune group. I just met someone who says they had a friend who was a nudist by evening but an office worker by day. I need more information. Thanks for your YT input, Vautrin? Are there many nudist camps in Paris or Algiers by the way? Or even New Jersey? Back tomorrow after I do more deep background research on this niche field.
Goodness just Google nudist France. Just don't go blind.

I don't guess I've ever seen any of these. I guess they were sort of the same thing as the pre-Playboy girlie magazines that would occasionally be referenced to be owned by Hawkeye when I was a kid on M*A*S*H of "naked girls playing volleyball".
While reading your post, it occurred to me it might not be completely beyond imagining for TCM to have some sort of monthly late night theme of nudity in movies, featuring the best-known and/or most controversial examples, everything from the silents to Hedy Lamarr to whenever Hollywood actually started permitting some nudity in mainstream film. See, I don't even know when that started! It would be educational, TCM! Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket ... Maybe it could go all the way up to Uma Thurman in Dangerous Liaisons (which literally made the crowd in the theater gasp when I saw it). Such a showcase might conceivably include at least one of the films you mention.
But as for TCM focusing on nothing but nudist camp films? Sorry to say after seeing your enthusiasm for the idea that this seems extremely unlikely. I do have some curiosity as to how explicit they were. Were females featured a lot more prominently than males? I just can't imagine a lot of frontal male nudity in that era that wouldn't have caused the morality police to completely lose their minds. Even as late as 1968, when Rolling Stone ran those Two Virgins photos in advance of the album release, it appeared for a time the magazine was going to be busted on obscenity charges, much more so for John's nudity than Yoko's, I think. Also, do these films show entire families? Depending on what the ages are of some of the people filmed might make it problematic for TCM, I would think.
Cavegirl is referring to nudism / naturalism, not the run of the mill nude scenes in R and NC-17 rated movies.

The original film has two great performances: EILEEN HECKART as Mrs. Daigle and HENRY JONES as Leroy. We don't have actors of their caliber any more.
Loved Henry Jones with the best one liner along with how he said it in the film....You can WASH IT AND WASH IT and there will be some (blood) left.

The TV movie looks like it's stuffed with a pack of unknown actors (to me). This seems to be a fault of newer movies in general: way too many characters, most of whom add nothing to the narrative.
Even if it's a main stream theatrical movie, there is no guarantee for a newbie that one will get another role. As the old studio saying goes, Don't call us, we'll call you. Just ask Hatty Jones with one single acting credit to her tally.

We hear a lot about early pioneers i.e. Thomas Edison but the work of Eadweard Muybridge barely gets noticed. His genius was because of a horse carriage accident.

About Frank Cady, I associate more with his Sam Drucker character.

If you're referring to Emma it's Mckenna Grace.

"Short Circuit" (1986)
Howard Marner..... What if it goes out and melts down a bus load of nuns? How would you like to write the headline on that one?
Benjamin Jabituya....Nun's soup?

Heh, the acting in the original was pretty awful. We watched this as a family and laughed all the way through it! The ending evoked out loud howls!
(seriously-the Mother laying her head on a table, slapping it with her hand muttering "You're not helping"?)
That said, Patty McCormack's performance was the best of the bunch.
Which ending, God dealing out lightning justice or the alternative ending?

But remember this is a Lifetime movie, not very encouraging.
I love the 1956 version, even with sanitized ending. Patty McCormack was chilling as the pig tailed killer.
It was already remade in 1985, also for TV. It kept the original ending but the acting was awful. The little girl was played by some stone faced actress who acted like a zombie, can't remember her name but understandably did not have much of a career.
Carrie Wells played Rachel Penmark.
David Carradine could not top the original LeRoy played by Henry Jones.

I guess this is old news, but it's news to me. Didn't know they remade "Papillon". It supposedly premiered last fall in Toronto. Anyone know how this did at the box office?
Nowadays, no remake comes as a total surprise to me. After yet another incarnation of "A Star Is Born" w/Lady Gaga, no less and the slated remake of "West Side Story", not to mention the ever-talked about remake of (wait for it) "Casablanca", I give up.
Truly, everything old is new again. But that doesn't mean "great again". (Sorry, guess that partial phrase is copyrighted, so I hope my security clearance won't be revoked.)

Everything is right! Remakes / reboots never ends.

The Amityville Horror is a myth, never happened. The only horror is the 1 million dollar price.

Jackie Coogan Movies
in General Discussions
Posted
On of my favorite Jackie Coogan movies is "The Rag Man" (1925). Recorded it several years ago from TCM Silent Nights. RAZOR sharp and loved the music score.
Hard to believe his future became this.
