Review of The Terrible Children

. . . flick LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES inspired. My grandpa insisted that it was an English language color film from the 1900s (with some "Jim Dean"-type hot flash-in-the-pan actor named "Ryan Somebody") where two of the youths in a love triangle--perhaps the brother and sister--actually did the deed FOR REAL on the kitchen floor! Pops, on the other hand, contended that LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES gave rise to the TABOO series of "Blue Movies," especially the 17th through the 29th outings. (That's when Mom put her foot down, and changed the subject to candy porn.) Naturally, when I later saw LES ENFANTS TERRIBLES on the TV schedule, I watched it to see which of my ancestors was most correct. However, I still don't have a clue. It's as if some Balkan native had two weeks of English classes, and then tried to enjoy AND understand a print of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? subtitled in American. It's extremely difficult to believe that ANY U.S. film maker could keep up with the TERRIBLES captions and be "inspired" by this movie to create anything more erotic than a turnip.
