3 things about Frank Perry’s LADYBUG LADYBUG

Ladybug Ladybug [1963]

1. The little girl goes to her room and closes the door. Afraid. She works her jaw open and shut like a fish trying to breathe.
2. William Daniels’ crisp cadence.
3. He throws himself to the ground and starts digging with his bare hands. The vapor trail of an airplane in the sky above him.

How exciting that this is now viewable on Netflix streaming! I’ve been wanting to see this for years.
