He points out the &#8220;sharp humor scattered throughout its serious framework&#8221;, writing that &#8220;its style reminds [him] of William March&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=2070\"><em>The Bad Seed<\/em><\/a>&#8221; &#8212; indeed, &#8220;17-year-old Sue Ann [Weld] might well be the diabolical eight-year-old Rhoda Penmark grown up.&#8221; Peary asserts that that &#8220;picture&#8217;s theme, as reflected in the paradoxical title and as embodied by Sue Ann, is that paranoid America is not so much in danger from foreigners as it is from evil, epidemic-like forces that are spreading in America&#8217;s heartland&#8221;, with the &#8220;small, peaceful Massachusetts town&#8221; where the film takes place &#8220;a microcosm of a sick, self-destructive America.&#8221; He adds that &#8220;Weld is great and Perkins matches her, properly playing Dennis as a man who is very much a boy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In his <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>, Peary names Weld Best Actress of the Year for her portrayal as &#8220;a typical American teenage innocent, a pretty, high-spirited blonde, who is on the honor roll, takes hygiene classes, and carries the American flag while marching with her school band&#8221;, but who actually represents psychopathy hiding in plain sight. He posits that &#8220;as Sue Ann grew up she refined, even perfected, her evil, keeping it veiled under a cheery veneer&#8221; &#8212; and now it &#8220;corresponds with her sexual amorality&#8221;. Weld &#8220;gives Sue Ann the comic edge to match Perkins&#8217; oddball Dennis&#8221;: &#8220;no matter what ludicrous idea Dennis cooks up, Sue Ann is willing; in fact, she&#8217;s one scheme ahead of him&#8221;, and &#8220;no one is better than Weld at showing excitement at acquiring things&#8221;. Peary reminds us that after her debut role in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=33\"><em>Rock! Rock! Rock!<\/em> (1956)<\/a>, Weld was best known for her &#8220;memorable, money-hungry&#8221; character &#8220;Thalia Menninger on television&#8217;s <em>The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis<\/em> &#8212; her prototypical role &#8212; and her manipulative teenager in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=5317\"><em>Lord Love a Duck<\/em><\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Cult Movies<\/em>, Peary elaborates upon Perkins&#8217; character Dennis, noting he &#8220;reminds [him] of the scene in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=5177\"><em>Psycho<\/em> (1960)<\/a> in which Perkins, as Norman Bates, loses his cockiness when the car containing Janet Leigh&#8217;s body momentarily fails to sink in the lake. At this moment, Norman realizes that he can be caught&#8221;, just as he is time and again in <em>Pretty Poison<\/em>. Speaking of <em>Psycho<\/em>, Stuart Galbraith IV points out in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/reviews\/23769\/pretty-poison\/\">review for DVD Talk<\/a> that, &#8220;For 1968 audiences, part of the film&#8217;s surprise is that it completely flip-flops audience expectations. They were still avoiding those late-night, home alone showers in the wake of <em>Psycho<\/em>, so Anthony Perkins in another fresh-out-of-the-nuthouse role strongly suggested another Norman Bates-like character&#8221; &#8212; whereas his character here actually elicits &#8220;relative sympathy&#8221; compared to Sue Ann, thus throwing &#8220;audiences off-balance&#8221;. Also of note is the small but crucial supporting role played by Beverly Garland, giving a &#8220;deliciously cold performance&#8221; as Weld&#8217;s shrewish mother; we understand Weld&#8217;s animosity towards her, but also feel sympathy about her untimely demise given that she&#8217;s &#8220;being nice to Sue Ann for the only time in the picture&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming
