robert_dl Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 "THE BABY, set in anytown, USA, circa early 70s, involves a fresh faced social worker, Ann Gentry, who has just taken a special interest in a case that involves anything but the typical Child Welfare issue. You see the Wadsworth family, mother and daughters, Germaine and Alba, all share there humble abode with the girl's "little" brother, known affectionately only as Baby. Ann goes to her initial visit at the Wadsworth with all the naiveté' of Jim J. Bullock at the Mustang Ranch. Mother Wadsworth explains that the man of the family has tucked tail and ran soon after Baby was born because "he couldn't handle it." The women make ends meet by the check that the state sends for Baby and Alba's tennis lessons, oh yeah, and Germaine does the "occasional TV commercial." But it's just all right by them to squeak by, Mrs. Wadsworth assures Ann, because Baby is special. Ann insists on getting a glimpse of Baby before leaving even though he is napping. Mrs. Wadsworth begrudgingly agrees…right here let me say, the first taste of Baby that we receive as viewers of this beaut is well, FUCKING INCREDIBLE, the colors of the film print look slightly above the typical made-for-TV shit of 1973 but contain all of the CrayolaTM palette we've come to expect from the period. As the camera gives us Baby, in all his glory, snuggled into his crib, to say the least, it is jaw dropping." Ann reacts almost as if this is some sort of normal sight and agrees to come back and visit when Baby is up and around. The Wadsworths and smile nod and hurry Ann the Hell out of their house. Wow, where is this thing going to go?" (brains on film) see the brains on film website for some great pix Link to comment
