I’d never even heard of this movie so I looked up Mary Badham in IMDB. She did three films, ever, from 1962 (year I was born) until 1966. Suddenly, she’s in another movie due out next year. Talk about your extended vacations. Was this a good film? I missed it when it first came out, me being just a month shy of four years old and all. Actually, for all I know my folks took us to a drive-in to watch it. I saw a lot of pretty inappropriate films from the back of my family’s station wagon.

And yet **Robert Blake** , who appeared in the film, is believed by many to have gotten away with murder.

Everyone have a good weekend?  
I never got the attraction to Truman Capote’s stuff. I take it back. It’s good for when I have raging insomnia.
