LOL Ms. Grant is one of those performers who I could, almost literally, watch reading the phone book aloud...<br /><br />Unknown, I had no clue that Comet TV showed this. Neat! I don't tune into that channel very often, but perhaps I ought to. (I always avoid commercials whenever possible and those over-the-air channels aren't available to me without having to deal with them... I become a channel flipper between all of them but so often they all have ads going at the same time! And they're mostly local ads which are even more hideous. Ha!)<br /><br />Thanks, angelman66! I really wanted to take part in your Blog-a-thon, but the timing was just the worst for me. I was going to tackle "Visiting Hours," which is truly a Lee Grant fest in and of itself. Even though "Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby" has a staggering cast also including Donna Mills, Tina Louise, George Maharis and Ray Milland, it's a tad hard to buy Patty Duke as Rosemary after Mia Farrow did it first! It's as if Dr. Shrinker got ahold of her!

You have captured this 1970s telefilm to...Poseidon. You have captured this 1970s telefilm to a t with your wonderfully written and illustrated article. I do remember these movies of the week where bone fide movie stars like Lee Grant and Shelley Winters rubbed elbows with TV celebs like Goldoni and Belinda J Montgomery, in a derivative plot stolen liberally from big screen horror films....one of my very favorites of this time period, was, of course, the sequel to Rosemary’s Baby with Patty Duke and Ruth Gordon and Stephen McHattie....<br /><br />I need to see this one again. Miss Lee Grant looks like she has it all under control here!<br />- Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-30900442863098068362018-09-14T23:04:14.750-04:002018-09-14T23:04:14.750-04:00'Comet TV' shows this film at least once a...'Comet TV' shows this film at least once a year along with other horror and scifi films. As impressive as Miss Grant is I can never watch it through as now it seems so 'by the book's set ups as reveals. And I really do not like James Olsen.

Phys Ed class in the 70's was a dangerous place for bitchy girls. Was there not a similar scene in the Initiation of Sarah? (besides tampon pelting in Carrie). Teens with powers was a genre, like The Fury, I wonder what they represented to horror writers?<br />I had only recently read about this movie on a Lee Grant Blogathon. She looks gorgeous here. My initial attraction to her was to the camp aspect of Miriam Polar and her other icy bitch roles, but really deepened into respect after reading her memoir. She is a consummate survivor and a real treasure to watch.<br />Where did children get satanic hooded robes before as-seen-on-tv snuggies? they seem to pop up on these kinds of movies like clockwork.<br />I came to love Helen Hunt later in film, not tv. She did a movie with John Hawkes called "The Surrogate" that is just amazing. <br />Always great to see Lee in her prime and this looks like a real hoot.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
