CHILD'S PLAY is a blatant British spin-off from the LITTLE RASCALS series, in which an all-child gang play with scientific experiments and run rings around the adults in their lives. I found it more like a proto Children's Film Foundation movie, but it somehow lacks the charm of the films in that franchise. This one has fun dialogue and sees atomic energy being used in a novel way, and the satirical swipes at the Cold War are quite amusing. But the lack of a decent plot hurts it somewhat and it does feel very middling throughout. Keep an eye out for a very youthful Peter Sallis in one of his earlier roles (as a delivery driver).
