[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 374923, member: 57984"] It's not exactly noir, but 1956's THE BAD SEED (which I'm rewatching this morning) does a pretty good job of analyzing childhood sociopathy for a '50s movie. An "adorable" little girl (played by Patty McCormick, who would boink Mitch Cooper 25 years later on DALLAS) is a ruthless, born-bad narcissist killer. Her increasingly-distraught mother is played by Nancy Kelly (if you doubt the validity of astrology, just watch Miss Kelly in this picture -- a [B]Sun in[/B] [B]Aries/Moon in Libra[/B] like Gloria Swanson, who could be her older twin sister, even down to the voice) who gradually begins to realize her precious daughter is the definition of all evil.
