LADYBUG LADY BUG-1963-A panic arises at
a small elementary school when it appears they get a warning of a
nuclear attack. The principal (William Daniels) sends all the kids
home and along the way their fear and paranoia grows. It seems to end
tragically with one girl hiding in an abandoned refrigerator and a
boy losing his mind when he hears a plane flying over head. Though it
might seem tame today I'd bet it scared a few moviegoers back in the
turbulence of the early '60's.
The husband-wife team of Frank Perry
(director) and Eleanor Perry (screenwriter) made other offbeat,
unusual films including THE SWIMMER and DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE.
Frank later directed MOMMIE DEAREST.
Thanks for reading!
