BlueCowboyFilms.com - The Nanny




BlueCowboyFilms.com - The Nanny: Many films today seem to have a plot that is not only predictable, but also tends to leave the viewer on the outside. Many of these movies are nowhere near enjoyable because you are never allowed to truly experience the feelings and interactions of the characters. Unlike the characters on the screen, you know exactly what is going to happen, where it is going to happen, and when it is going to happen. That sense of dread, fear, or uncertainty you see on the actors' faces never makes its way into your on psyche, thus leaving you with not only a sense of helplessness, but also boredom. Not so with the 1965 classic 'The Nanny' starring Bette Davis and William Dix.

I checked out the first available copy, and hid myself in a recliner, underneath a blanket for the next three days. It is a story that has fascinated my to this day.
