James Agee
This documentary work on the cotton sharecroppers of Alabama began as an article for Fortune magazine but was rejected because Agee refused to adopt the sterile, objective voice of conventional journalism. The resulting book, published in 1941 with photos by Walker Evans, ultimately reveals as much about Agee as it did about his subjects. It also served as a new model for this sort of nonfiction writing, presenting full and reverent portraits of three families in every aspect of their lives, rather than recording mere social statistics.

The plot of William March's successful novel was tailor made for Hollywood. Combined with beautiful black-and-white photography and fabulous performances, THE BAD SEED is one of the eeriest films of the 20th century. The scientifically dubious theory behind the title is that an evil disposition can be an inherited trait. Patty McCormack plays Rhoda Penmark, a seemingly sweet, beautiful, smart grade school girl who is in attendance at a school picnic in which a classmate dies. No one suspects that the accident was the result of murder except for Rhoda's apartment building janitor, a simpleton named LeRoy (Henry Jones). But when Rhoda's mother, Christine Penmark (Nancy Kelly), finds out that her real mother is a cold-blooded killer, she begins to suspect her own daughter. Her fears of what Rhoda might do conflict with her protective instincts as a mother, forcing Christina to make terrible decisions--decisions that themselves might be too late.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.37Audio: Mono - English
