Nov 2nd  
The Changeling**   
(Canada 1979)     
Chessman Park/Mario Kassar-Andrew Vagna. 107m.

A widowed composer recuperates in a large house haunted by a child's death similar to his own daughter's.
Suspenseful and in turn just as silly supernatural ghost story with plenty of holes and red herrings in the plot, but also with some effective jolts, and professionally assembled.

Written by: William Gray, Diana Maddox, from a story by Russell Hunter.
Producers: Joel B. Michaels, Garth H. Drabinsky, Mario Kassar.
Director: Peter Medak.
Starring: George C. Scott, Trish Van Devere, Melvyn Douglas, John Colicos, Helen Burns, Madeleine Sherwood, Barry Morse, Jean Marsh.
Photography: John Coquillon.
Music: Rick Wilkins, Howard Blake.
Production Design: Trevor Williams.

THE CHANGELING. Similar in tone but not in subject matter to The Omen, the publicity department nonetheless played on this factor.
