Viewing Notes

For my Childhood Movies Project. As good or better than I remembered. And another movie I haven’t seen since probably grade school. Usually the memory is better than the film but I think the movie is even better with outstanding performances by Barbara Harris and baby Jodie Foster. They really sell a preposterous plot and make it compelling to watch. Recommended if you haven’t seen or if it’s been 30+ years since you last viewed like me.
