Dean Stockwell was immediately recognizable!


Those eyes are unmistakable! He is still a wonderful actor, but...I'm always floored at how brilliant he was as a child actor!

I think he was the most beautiful child actor I've ever seen. and that includes Elizabeth Taylor etal. He was a very good actor too.

I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.

At the very end, the scene with Colin and his father...who _didn't_ say to themselves, "Mein Fuhrer! I can valk!" ;)

Gorgeous child but I swear I wanted to ring his neck this morning. I fell asleep on the TCM channel and was awaken from a peaceful sleep by his shrill screaming and hollering. Damn he got on my nerves.

Have you seen him in The Boy with the Green Hair? He was a fabulous child actor.... but when I first saw this I knew him best as Al from Quantum Leap...to think that poor sweet child grew up to be a cigar chomping womanizer with questionable sartorial taste!
