The Bad Seed coming to Blu-ray in October via Warner Home Video

Rhoda (Patty McCormack) is a well-mannered 8-year-old little lady – and an efficient, unfeeling killer. And in this spellbinding chronicle of evil, whatever Rhoda wants, she ruthlessly gets. Her mother Christine (Nancy Kelly), reluctantly made to see her child’s moral blindness at work, is heartrendingly torn between mother love and grief for Rhoda’s victims. From Maxwell Anderson’s stage hit, The Bad Seed ticks like a time bomb under the skillful direction of  Mervyn LeRoy, who cast several Broadway production originals, including Kelly (recreating the role that won her a Tony®), McCormack and Eileen Heckart. Their harrowing performances captured three of this suspenseful movie’s four Academy Award® nominations* – and make this thriller one of the great ones.
