Negative Positive
Title: Rhoda, not Christine. Christine (Nancy Kelly) is the mother.
Review: This is an excellent campy film. Patty McCormack as Rhoda, the metal-coveting, classmate-drowning, janitor-burning murderous 8-year old, gives a chilling performance. Nancy Kelly was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Christine Penmark, Rhoda's mother and owner of demented genes. Nods for Best Supporting Actresses were also given to Patty McCormack and Eileen Heckart. (All three lost but Heckart did win a Golden Globe award for her performance as the distraught mother of one of Rhoda's victims.)
