Child of Glass (1978)

That was an excellent one.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I, too, saw this movie as a child and have NEVER forgotten it.I check every year for it on DVD but haven't been lucky enough to find it since they haven't released it. I'm hoping that the powers that be will release it so that I can show it to my kids and niece. Nothing like scaring the pants off of kids with ghost movies. LOL! If enough people mention it to Disney (I think it's Disney!!) then maybe they'll put it out?? The little girl ghost was very memorable and I think she's the reason I haven't forgotten it. It was such an endearing and well done story.Strange.

I saw this a long time ago as a young child, our local small-town video store had a bunch of old Disney clamshell videos for rental, and I remember renting this one as a child. It truly scared me then, I was terrified, but I recently was able to get a copy of this and still found it to be a great movie.The film is about Alexander Armstrong, whose family moves into an old Antebellum Southern mansion, where he meets the ghost of a Creole girl named Inez Dumaine, who asks him for help. He and his kooky friend, Blossom, with the help of Blossom's psychic aunt, then try to unravel the mystery behind her death and lay her spirit to rest, before her ghost becomes destined to walk the earth forever.This film and "The Watcher in the Woods" are both Disney movies that seem to stand out to me, and bring back many memories from my childhood. Maybe it's because they're more on the scary side than the average Disney cartoon classics. The only difference is that "The Watcher in the Woods" is much more available than this movie, and is also on a couple of DVD formats. This one is extremely rare, I'm hoping to someday see it on Disney DVD, which would be really nice. I know there is other people out there who remember this film also, and it'd be nice to see it on DVD. Overall, a good little made-for-TV ghost story. 9/10.

I must say that this was a very enjoyable movie and would recommend it for the whole family.Here is a ghost story that builds on the idea that trust is a good thing and even though you may reside in different worlds you can still bond with each other and help in a time of need.A modern boy keeps seeing a ghost girl, about his same age, and discovers that the little girl cannot rest in peace until she solves a riddle. Even though it may be dangerous and the little boy will end up losing the ghost girl as a friend if he succeeds in solving the it he agrees to help. He gets help from a new neighbor friend who is also the same age and their off to the races. They have only until holloween to solve the riddle of "The Child of Glass"

Excellent film, which I recommend for everyone in the family.Alexander Armsworth and his family move to an authentic antebellum plantation, once owned by a river pirate during the civil war. Blossom, a schoolmate of Alexander's who has a crush on him, lives nearby. Alexander sees a suspicious light in the garage, and upon investigation finds a ghost and her ghostly dog. She tells him her name, Inez, and asks for his help in finding the "child of glass" so that she can go to her eternal rest.During a seance with Blossom, Alexander finds out that the river captain killed the little girl when she wouldn't tell him where the family treasure was, and cursed her to wander the plantation till doomsday. Alexander and Blossom try to solve the riddle; along the way there's an elegant party given by Alexander's mother, which Inez's ghost dog wrecks chasing the family cat; there's a drunken caretaker that is fired for negligence and decides to take out his anger on Alexander; and a fire that levels the garage and everyone thinks Alexander was inside.Alexander falls down an abandoned well, and when Blossom rescues him, she finds the "child of glass". Together, they take it to Inez's crypt in a dark cemetery, where girl and doll are finally reunited. Inez can finally rest, but as a thank you she leaves them with a fantastic gift.This film is a must for everyone. It's got ghosts, mystery, spooky cemeteries and suspense. Steve Shaw, who plays Alexander, is very, very good, and Katy Kurtz plays Blossom with panache. My kids loved this movie, as does everyone who watches it. It's hard to find, though, since it's not for sale anymore.It was adapted from the book "The Ghost Belonged to Me".
