        nice

        Or, maybe, more. B>ecause it is a seductive discover of the zoung Christopher Walken and his precise performance. For the story, remembering the secrets who only in child world are full of sense. Wise manner to create reference to family, supernatural, one of deep desires and a wise doctor giving the right cure. But, maybe more iinteresting, the humor is one of great virtues. Subtle, conventional, full of subtle and fresh ironz.

        Actually much better than one might think!

        Just happen to be reviewing walkin's acting history on imdb and saw this short listed as one of his first acting credits. Went to youtube and presto the whole thing is there for the watching. Actually this odd short is very interesting on many levels and Walkin's acting is good at an early age.

        The short has many good aspects to it and that is the biggest surprise. Makes fun of religion and the adult's around him and drags Voltare into the whole thing! The shrink was great too.

        Quite a gem for something I expected to be terrible. Thanks Christopher!
