This movie shaped my life

I was 12 in 1966 when I saw this movie at the local smalltown theater.I went to see it because the preview looked like it would be funny.I was too young to appreciate the black humor and social commentary at the time.All I remembered until I saw it again years later is that I loved the movie, and I wanted to be just like Barbara Ann, except I would have liked Alan back. I also remembered Roddy in a graduation robe, driving a huge endloader and quacking.Very strange, but I've loved Roddy McDowall ever since.The movie was on TV recently so I had my 14 year-old-daughter watch it with me. Now I get the black humor and social commentary.My daughter got some of it, but she also got a different look at Roddy McDowall, who she mainly knew from Fright Night and the Planet of the Apes movies.

score 9/10
