The Bad Seed - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - March 4, 1956
The Bad Seed is a long neglected gap in my reading and viewing to do list that I really need to get around to closing, some day. 
I did grow up with an awareness that William March's novel existed, because I would see it at the local bookstores on occasion. Ditto for the film adaptation of this stage adaptation by Maxwell Anderson of March's novel.

I can also hope that the play gets a revival somewhere some day. Who knows. I might even watch the 1985 and 2018 remakes. Maybe. Maybe not. How is that for decisive?
