au revoir les enfantophobes

Let's see... Bobby Clark's IMDb listing shows that this was his 18th role in an already six-year-long acting career. Brigitte Fossey made her debut in the great war film 'Jeux Interdits', in which she and her co-star Georges Poujouly gave two of the most affecting juvenile performances in film history. But there seems to be a (rather large) group of viewers who regard young actors as incapable of bringing anything to the screen but a dash of cheap cuteness. Such viewers would be well advised to avoid watching films that feature children or at least to spare us their critiques thereon.

I'm an enfantophobe myself. So much so that I have avoided this movie all my life.
