Bizarre hook may force you to endure this movie

This thing was somewhat unusual for a TV movie. First, it moved at kind of a strange pace which I cannot really put words to. But secondly, it had a queer hook at the start of the movie which kept me hanging on to see if I had imagined it all or hallucinated or lost my mind. Very odd. Not a plot twist but more like a dangling detail. Anyway, Brigitta Dau is totally hot for any men watching and women will enjoy seeing Scott Reeves with his shirt off. Cathy Lee Crosby does a good job as one of the villains. I cannot really recommend the movie but it beats watching a rerun of Leave It to Beaver.

Baby Robbing Bandits!

Baby thieves steal infants from happy families and sell them to rich, infertile couples. What should be a serious topic ends up being campy. The first indication not to take this movie seriously is the fact that the title is spelled incorrectly. "When the CRADDLE Falls" should be "When the CRADLE Falls." It doesn't get much better after that.
