The 1967 movie really has nothing to do with dolls in the pure sense. Dolls are drugs! I wasn't allowed to see it when it was released being only 11, but I loved Patty Duke. Saw it on TV several years later. The movie has a cult following I wasn't aware of and a big controversy surrounding it.

@ludwigsdiana Agree, but I'm a big fan of Patty Duke. =)
@linnypinny Thanks, Lin! I added the DVD to my wish list at Amazon. LOL! Still trying to find another Patty Duke movie on DVD made in the 70s. "Before and After" with Barbara Feldon. Haven't found it yet.
@joysabin Thank you! It's really good to know that there are others who remember this movie. =)
I read the book, quite early on. Not quite as graphic as the film.
Maybe that’s not right expression.
I read the book, but it didn’t trigger what the film could.
It goes back to imagination.
You have the power of the word.
You have with photography the right image to strike to the heart / brain.
With film it can be instantly graphic or slowly draw you into the true horror.
But a good photograph is still worth a thousand words or ten seconds of video.
This wins.
