The Bad Seed - Rhoda and Leroy... "GIMME BACK MY SHOES!"

Rhoda and Leroy... "GIMME BACK MY SHOES!"
This scene cracks me up every time I see it. Poor Leroy doesn't know who he's messin' with.

[@psychoboysaz]

"You got them hid. But you better get them and bring them back here. RIGHT HERE TO ME!!!!" Damn Patty chewed that scene up and spit it out. Yes!

[@durriyyahshabazz36]

The acting between Leroy and Rhoda is phenomenal watch how angry she gets in seconds and when her mother comes she gets completel calm, and then angry again ..... you've got them hid but you better get them and bring them back here......RIGHT HERE TO ME!!!!!

[@tremekawilson9238]

Oh yes.

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

"Ahm keepin' dose shoes" , Good Lord! What great acting by everyone involved.

[@achickfromthebricks]

I ain't giving those to nobody😊

[@richardlucero9265]

she was a lot smarter and meaner than Leroy!, he never had a chance!

[@tbrown6759]

I can watch this scene from "The Bad Seed" thousands of times and never tire of it. Patty McCormack clearly held her own against Henry Jones! Rhoda vs Leroy.

[@kathyspiers2727]

oh yeah she did.!!!

[@deedenman5584]

RIGHT HERE TO ME!!!!!

[@tbrown6759]

kathy spiers I just watched this scene twice and I'm still amazed she got Ol Leroy! LOL

[@tbrown6759]

d denman "You bring them back to me!"

[@tbrown6759]

You're welcome Rex Bass ! I love this and "A Patch of Blue" . I can watch both all day!

[@Rachel-jj7zv]

The look on Leroy's face when he realized she really killed that boy made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂

[@rutalaa]

2:06 ‘GIMME BACK MY SHOES!!!!!” HILLARIOUS!!!

[@m.e.d.7997]

Patty was such a great actress in this role!!

[@Rachel-jj7zv]

"I'm keepin them shoes" 😂😂😂. He was really teasing her.

[@ravesterj5147]

The actress that played Claude Dagle's mom had me crying like a baby. Rhoda's mom had me feeling tortured at the idea of being in her position. Leroy had me laughing at times but I could tell he was definitely a creepazoid. This is one of the best movies to ever hit the screen. Period

[@Risingphoenixlaurel]

SB 🎉😂

[@joesmith9216]

it is so DARK esp for the 1950's, some parts are way over acted though, meaning not really natural feeling to it, but this was the first of it's type, so that can be forgiven, abysmal ending though, this movie for those in the know, is it about generational psychopaths and really weird was her adopted father in this movie, did he adopt her for the reason to have a killer blood line? so much mystery as to why he adopted her. brilliant film of course from the dark minds at warner, this film was prob watched by few people back then. Ms Fern was amazing too!

[@murph8837]

The bizarre juxtaposition of this little girl in a frilly white dress threatening a grown man for the murder weapon she used to kill a classmate.

[@virgilrobertsjr7870]

Little did Leroy know he was playing with... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 😂

[@joesmith9216]

yep, she burned him.

[@Princessfrmalmighty]

i just saw this movie for the time with my fam this my new favorite movie

[@durriyyahshabazz36]

one of my favorite movies of all time

[@hulagirl6719]

Mine too. Superb acting by all.

[@xxxmaysilssss690]

I loved these two in the movie. Their interactions were so interesting, since it was refreshing to see someone who didn’t blindly suck up to Rhoda and actually challenged her talking points. Of course Leroy was messing with her and in his mind, he was only getting her riled up (that’s what highlights Rhoda’s immaturity and lets the viewer know that she is still a child after all, since she was easily caught up in Leroy’s lies when he got too close to the truth, which gave herself away even more). It was sad to see him go, but it’s what these scenes between them built up towards. No modern movie can truly emulate this type of dynamic like it did here. The remake of this movie only served to make the babysitter character (a stand in for Leroy) a bully, since she was so unlikeable. Leroy was mean-spirited as well, but it never felt as though he had any true power over Rhoda, since he still only was the caretaker instead of the babysitter, and his awful way of teasing still never felt like bullying as much as it did banter between two horrible people.

[@murph8837]

Yeah,you are absolutely right. I think another reason this type of dynamic wouldn't work is that people wouldn't buy Rhoda as an innocent little girl so easily. There was still this quaint idealism about the innocence of children that doesn't exist today. People are not that surprised anymore by the notion of child murderers. Had the same incident that happened at Rhodas school occurred today people would likely suspect a classmate was to blame. We are so jaded that nothing really shocks us so a person like Rhoda wouldn't get away with it so easily.

[@donatord]

Movie's worst child monster. No one does it better.

[@jerryavalos9610]

She was a serial killer for sure.

[@msmicheletorres]

best scene ever.

[@mwbright]

When I was Rhoda's age, most boys were into Annette Funicello. But me? I was into Rhoda.

[@traceywhitney1272]

Rhoda was a beast!! Spawn of Satan...😂😂

[@Bombsaway00]

I PULL 'EM OUT!! They're scorched, sure they're scorched.... But there's still plenty left to turn bluuuuuu...

[@Tadaia]

... and show where that lil boy’s blood waaaaas. Plenty left ta put choo in the electric chaaaair!

[@dredre_lj2003]

GIMME THOSE SHOES BACK!

[@strikeleather6503]

LMAO 😂😂😂. I love it!

[@charlatroyano333]

my favorite movie of ALL TIME!!!

[@never_give_up90]

Damn, that acting is amazing. Love that movie so much and only because of McCormack and all the other great actors. I can see why they were pulled from stage to film, they just had to be filmed so world has a chance to watch them over and over. Ahhhhhhh Thank you for discovering them.

[@tooberetta]

And to think how intense the original play must have been! There are a few theatrical versions here on KZbin. My Mom & I used to watch this together & say the lines & just laugh!

[@hollee1464]

@@tooberetta I’m so jealous of anyone who got to see the original stage version and I so wish there was a video somewhere of it! My mom and I used to recite the lines when I was a small child and still do 30 years later to this day use quotes from this movie it’s so special to me.

[@samaratn33stewart78]

I have watched this scene over a span of 40 years and each viewing is like the first time. Totally Inspired (In Spirit), acting!

[@nocountry4oldfreeman]

Oh god, I absolutely enjoy every scene with Leroy.

[@Junius]

"GIVE ME BACK MY SHOES!!!!!!"

[@DirahEvans]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!

[@denisedillinger1354]

This young actresses range was quite exquisite. I don’t think she got the flowers she deserved. patty McCormicks Rhoda is what Heath ledger was to the joker she played this character seamlessly

[@virgilrw]

#Leroy knows he was dead wrong! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@esthergreenwood9161]

RIGHT HERE TO MEEEEEE!!!!!

[@chloeconniecarlton328]

Henry Jones was a first class actor,and a notable Voice Over Actor.. As you can see,he has /had, a very Unique voice... I remember hearing him in a few radio,and TV commercials in the 69's,and,70's..

[@IIxWOLFxII]

"You better bring them back here.......RIGHT HERE TO MEEE!!!" LoL

[@tiffanyhenry6684]

😂 She was dead serious

[@SlimBiggie718]

[@avienelson5551]

I just got Rhoda in a show I auditioned for!! I’m so excited!

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

Right on!

[@marlanaedwards5296]

HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY TO PATTY MCCORMACK! FOREVER RHODA! (August 25, 2020).

[@EileneWood]

She was nominated for best supporting actress. Patty McCormack is the actress

[@hopefulagnostic336]

Agree with all the comments wildly lauding this scene, and the performances in this movie in general. One little subtlety that I thought was so nicely done is that Rhoda is definitely and obviously a malignant little cuss, but she's also still 8 years old, so not sophisticated enough to question why at first LeRoy said he came into her room and took the shoes, and only when she said she burned them did he tell the fiction of having heard them come down the incinerator. She simply believed him. Yes, she's a little demon, but like all children, the lines between make-believe and reality are easily blurred.

[@murph8837]

I One little thing that got me was how she was confidently dismissive of his earlier accusations but she was easily tricked with his final taunting. I would have thought that a child so easily fooled by him taking the shoes would have her guard up on him even alluding to her killing the boy. He was unwittingly correct that her motive was to get the medal. He was also unwittingly correct that she bludgeoned him with something to get the medal. Even though he was wrong about the murder weapon used he had the motive and method correct. If she was intelligent enough to see through that then why not his admitting to have possession of the shoes. I would have thought him teasing her with his supposed knowledge of killing the boy would be too much for her to let him live.

[@Missssrooty]

This is one of the most terrifying films I’ve ever watched in my life.

[@starrs0]

Rhoda was the OG Evil little girl everyone that came after from Nelly Olson to Angelica Pickles are just imitating her

[@josephhymel8075]

LEROY HENRY JONES SHOULD HAVE WON AN OSCAR

[@HunnyNetWork]

He was awesome!!!!

[@valve6642]

Leroy loved to tease and scare Rhoda.

[@mamothcar1]

Love this movie!!

[@thedonprince7941]

love the acting brovo phenomenal!!!!

[@jules6735]

"I don't say that I ain't smart cause it is" Leroy gave props to Rhoda... one psycho saying that to another is a compliment :)

[@markxxx21]

Rhoda later becomes the neighbor of Mr and Mrs Roper.

[@marilou3748]

Brilliant acting on both parts

[@erichinkle7347]

Oh the terror that goes over Leroy's face when he figures out that Rhoda really DID kill that little boy, and now she's got to kill him.

[@IzludeTingel]

1:43 give them "bahch to meyhh" lol i love how she says it xD

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

Love it!

[@TheMoviedude2012]

Great classic film!!

[@arethamorgan6613]

I saw this movie with my Mother as a kid. The movie shook me to my core back then . Now today in 2023. A vast majority of the kids today, remind me so much of this little cherub. Life imitating art? 😱😱😱

Luv this movie...brilliant acting all around

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

RIGHT HERE TU MEEEE! ⤵👟🔥🔥🔥👱💊➡👉👸☁ The original Bad Seed. Cheers.

[@joeharris3878]

When I saw this as a boy , I didn't know what the story was about. I was just astounded that a kid could be mean to a grown up. It was beyond the understanding of a six year old boy . We were never treated bad, got a lot of love, but kept in line by our mommas and daddys. I probably saw this on TV around 1960 . Adults might as well have been all-powerful gods they way kids saw them then.

[@rhodapenmark6716]

ITS ME!!!

[@hopefulagnostic336]

Hi Rhoda! You're an evil little bitch, but I love you anyway! :-)

I saw this movie on italian tv mid '70s. The italian girl who took care of translating this angel faced little demon did a very good work but the american actress here has such a cutting and mercyless voice that almost scares me!

[@philipdraper7284]

This young actress is also Adriana La Cerva’s mother “Liz La Cerva” on the Sopranos. I can hear her voice slightly within this screeching little demon. Exquisite performance for such a young girl.
