Offering the alcohol to addict is just the door to dangerous situations.

[@taracollins5597]

That was to keep her manipulated. So she wouldn't see what was really going on. Alcohol makes people easier to manipulate, especially if they are lonely & sad like the mother was.

[@marymayer2282]

Patty Duke out shown the seductive babysitter she' looked so pretty in face And figure although The actress portraying The part of The seductive is very pretty good movie good acting another acting triumph among many by Patty Duke

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

There was loads of chances to see she was a psycho, but they ignored it. Imagine finding her in his wife's clothes and not sacking her, and not even telling the wife. Then her making advances to him and him not telling the wife. Then the wife threatening to leave if the au pair left!!!! Ever heard anything sooooo stupid?

[@taracollins5597]

I remember this film! Wow I recorded it on VHS. :D I chuckled at the time that the girl had the same name as I did (uncommon in those days). Yes the film was campy, but also surprisingly chilling. The stony blank look that Joanna gives to the guy when he falls overboard still stays in my memory. I always wonder why Tara never told anyone that Joanna never tried to help him. The scenes where she wanders her old employers' home & talks to 'people'....still stays in my memory too. I always admired Stephanie Zimbalist, I wish she still acted.

[@taracollins5597]

This family has a LOT of issues. Alcoholism & loneliness are only some of them. The father is lonely but also horny lol....he doesn't say anything to his wife because he doesn't really want Joanna to leave. He is likely flattered by her hitting on him, also. The mom was also intensely troubled & Joanna manipulated her emotionally too.

She murdered an entire family and attempted to kill another family. She was dangerous. But there's only one cop arresting her and the other one stood waiting by the patrol car. That's horrible police work. They should have handcuffed her when she was arrested, instead of packing an overnight bag. That's really weird.

Plot--- Spoiled 12-year-old Tara's new best friend from next door gets hired as a live-in babysitter, but things soon go horribly wrong when Tara's mom starts hitting the bottle and fighting with her dad. Overprotective mother Liz Benedict meets 18-year-old orphan Joanna Redwine and hires her as house help and live-in companion to her rambunctious daughter Tara. Liz's husband Jeff isn't too thrilled with the arrangement, and his fears are soon justified when Joanna begins to manipulate everyone, slowly destroying the family. Meanwhile, next-door neighbor Dr. Linquist investigates and discovers Joanna's disturbing past.
