Ein ganz verrückter Freitag (1976)
6KEin ganz verrückter Freitag: Directed by Gary Nelson. With Barbara Harris, Jodie Foster, John Astin, Patsy Kelly. A mother and daughter find their personalities switched and have to live each other’s lives on one strange Friday.
“Never particularly loved this movie but it is lifted above the usual Disney fare by Jodie Foster, who was just totally incredible in this. You watch her and she nails the part – her performances in her movies are always better than great but to have been this good as a kid is kinda spooky, she delivers her lines so well. She is just about one of the finest actresses working in movies today along with Meryl Streep. It is so rare for a child to be as mature in performance as Jodie was. I guess the nearest child star in terms of performance is Haley Joel Osment. I have seen the remake with LL and JC but they just do not make such a good job of the parts as Jodie and Barbara (who seems to have disappeared from the movie scene-curse of the older actress).”
