Baby on fire??

Seriously, the baby catches on fire in the plot of this film? Please. The script writers must have been desperate for an idea. And if it's obviously a vinyl doll, even those who want to take it seriously must be hard pressed. The whole film sounds like an attempt to exploit the success of *A Summer Place.*

Another riotous aspect to that scene which no one has mentioned yet (I don't think..) is that the crying, screaming 'baby' sounds are so obviously dubbed by a child that is clearly about 8 or 9 years old.
