You ought to see "The Little Kidnappers" (1990) starring 8yr Leo Wheatley and 5 yr old Charles Miller II.
The film also shows what must be one of Charlton Heston's most HAMMIEST performances as a Nova Scotian 19th C scottish farmer - I mean OH PLULEEEEZ!
Mind you one of the vids I have so far successfully avoided is Charlton Heston presents The Bible. YUCK! no thanks, Moses.
Anyway the film won a nomination for Leo - Young Artist Award Best Young Actor in a Cable Special for: Little Kidnappers, The (1990) (TV) 1991 Nominated. He was up against
BEST YOUNG ACTOR IN A CABLE SPECIAL-
Michael Faustino, "JUDGEMENT"
Justin Gocke, "THE WITCHING OF BEN WAGNER"
Mike Simmrin, "TALES FROM THE CRYPT"
Martin Smits, "THE CHALLENGERS"
Leo Wheatley, "THE LITTLE KIDNAPPERS"
Noam Zylberman, "LAST TRAIN HOME"
Little Charles works hard but isn't a patch on Leo who is pink and blonde and fetching in a little kilt, pajamas and brooks.A lovely middle class british accent to boot with pleasing scottish twanglets, he is a little cutey all round. Sadly it seems he only made the one film but since he hogs maybe 95% of the camera action we are compensated that way.
Not a film to go out of your way to hire but far from boring and a delight for the Aztrams, Campers and Kabbies...
In fact its a charming little production and excellent for that evening-after-a-stressed-day....
I will scan the cover image in later maybe...
