There’s a movie called, “Whistle in the Wind”. But the reality is that age doesn’t diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone. We see the image above and we instantly think of a time when we were kids. “When the bough breaks the cradle will fall and down will come baby, cradle and all”? Really? That’s, if I must say, scary! How in the world is the baby going to sleep now, worrying as he is about falling out of a tree?! But what do WE do…when the bough breaks? What do we do when disappointment threatens to overtake us? But whatever its pedigree, you have to admit that the song is NOT the most soothing thing ever…if you pay attention to the words. Some say the song is code- that it’s actually a rather scathing political satire. When the bough breaks the cradle will fall and down will come baby, cradle and all.” Did you know that there are 2 more verses…MUCH sweeter than the 1st verse? Did you also know that the melody is a variation of an old English satirical ballad? Some say the song refers to a 17th century family with 6 children who actually lived in a tree with a hollowed out bough as the cradle. When the wind blows the cradle will rock.

PARENTAL CONCERNS: Violence, Sexual innuendo, Some language While a primary character’s absence is felt, Danson and Masur do a good job as the main protagonists of the series. Even with the eighties television quality, it was cool to see that emulated in the movie.īottom line, When The Bough Breaks is a good adaption of the novel. Delaware cruises on familiar roads in Los Angeles and I felt like the film did a good job of picking that up. One of the things I do enjoy about the books is the California vibe. They replaced her with Santos’ character and another named Lisa played by Deborah Harmon. She is featured in the book but is largely missing from the film. In the novels, Alex has a long time girlfriend named Robin Castagna. He nails the stubborn detective who is good friends of the protagonist, adding that flair. While I will admit that I did not picture Danson as the psychiatrist, he catches the essence of the character and hits a lot of high notes that are commonplace in the books. Television movies can be hit or miss but despite this feature being a product of the time it was made, I still found it very enjoyable.
