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.
