Overall Rating:3.00 based on 10 ratings
"The Bad Seed" was released in 1956. This classic film is run infrequently on TCM. It features a child murderess named Rhoda. She doesn't seem to know right from wrong. Tragedy results from her twisted psyche. There are performances from Nancy Kelly and Eileen Heckart, each grieving in a different way. And Patty McCormack also has a large role. (Add picture)

good play to movie with Patty McCormack as the evil child who is suspected by her mother of being a murderer. Rhoda is this awful child who is good at fooling most into thinking she is this sweet little girl. but she is really a cold hearted killer who thinks nothing of murder to get what she wants. her mother who was adopted starts to suspect that she herself came from a biological mother who had murdered her family.she now is afraid her daughter Rhoda is a bad seed who inherited her biological mother's sickness. pretty well done, a bit over the top sometimes. but probably because the actors who had done the play first.

Based on Maxwell Anderson's acclaimed Broadway stage play, this film features Patty McCormack, as Rhoda, and Nancy Kelly as her mother. Rhoda is a seemingly charming, fair-haired child, who manages to fool everyone. Well, almost! A poor employee at her home is not so easily fooled. The man teases Rhoda regarding his suspicions. He lets her know that there are electric chairs for child murderers. Blue ones for boys, and pink ones for girls. Rhoda registers this information without giving herself away. But clearly, the man has to be dealth with; and Rhoda has a solution. As her anguished mother gets closer to the truth regarding the first murder, Rhoda turns up the charm, considerably. And she has the firm support of a close relative, who is obviously under her spell. I won't reveal anymore. The fun is in finding out for yourself. Patty McCormack and Eileen Heckart were oscar-nominated in the supporting actress category;(They lost to Dorothy Malone, for "Written in the Wind"); and Nancy Kelly won a Best Actress nomination. (She lost to Ingrid Bergman,) for "Anastasia".
