164: The Ugly Little Boy (1977) with Ed Conroy
This week, we sit down with RetrOntario’s Ed Conroy about a spectacular little gem - “The Ugly Little Boy”. In the late 70’s TVO developed a series of fictional shorts based on classic literature, collected in a series called “Stories Dark and Dangerous”. The whole series is quite frankly worth a watch, but the Ugly Little boy, which is based on an Isaac Asimov short story, is really a stand out piece.
Starring heavy hitters like Kate Reid, Barry Morse, and the final, powerful performance of Guy Big, you can catch this short on Youtube right now and sign up for RetrOntario’s new newsletter at retrontario.com
