BTW have you ever watched and reviewed: The Bad Seed (1956) It’s on YouTube. The child actor Patsy McCormack was born and raised in Brooklyn. She’ll be 80 years young this summer. Her acting has given chills generation after generation. Another pre-teen experience that still rings bells a half century later. Like the Song of Bernadette…a worthy classic.

My favorite Christian film is The Song of Bernadette. I watched it with my paternal grandmother when I was about 11. Since then I watched it anytime it came on television but in the last decade privileged to see it on YouTube. I actually have been contemplating since covid 19 pandemic “ended” to go to Lourdes, France and do the pilgrimage. One of the many films I could watch over and over again as if it were new.

Thank you including this gem in your writings. I also enjoy the ways I’ve had my understanding and time management improved with AI resources. I enjoyed reading your piece. And watching a young Vincent Price in that film and remembering his 1960s film career in horror genre is a nice remix (House of Wax, The Pit and Pendulum among other Edgar Allen Poe stories to film)
