What is The Bad Seed / Kathy O' about?

THE BAD SEED, 1956, Warner Bros., 129 min. This chilling and classic horror-melodrama from master director Mervyn LeRoy follows Christine (Nancy Kelly), a housewife who can't shake her growing paranoia about her "angelic" young daughter (Patty McCormack), whom she suspects of lying, theft and murder. KATHY O', 1958, Universal, 99 min. Dir. Jack Sher. Patty McCormack is back in this comedy as a different kind of "bad seed" - a bratty child movie star! In person, Kathy O'Rourke (McCormack) is whiny and foul-mouthed and nothing like her onscreen persona. And her manager (played by Dan Duryea) has one heck of a time keeping this unpleasant secret from the journalist writing a story on the young starlet.
