    What a handsome, talented and sexy human being! He has one of the most beautiful, rich and sensuous voices ever I'm in love with him since I was 12 years old

      Anniefog yes indeed he sure is. Can't imagine why he got hooked on playing bad guy characters, cuz he's so much greater than that.
      P.S.: is he actually playing the piano here or is he just synching along with someone else? Cuz I've never read before that he studied the piano before; to my knowledge he's only studied vocals-and how glad we are that he did. ☺☺☺

      @@ss-gv1te I know he can play the piano and quite talented at it. His older sister, Judith, was a concert pianist. Not sure if he is playing the scene, but I'm certain I've seen him play before.

    There's some seriously deep layers to this performance: Tim's character is actually a figment of her imagination! Her character was r**** as a 16 year old and she smothered the baby made from that encounter three days after he was born. So Tim came to her as a hallucination as the "long lost" son she never knew. His character is disturbed, playful, naughty, and regressed into a man-child who just wants to be a little kid and for his mother to actually raise him.
    This story is so touching, sad, dark, and at times funny. Tim Curry navigates all these complexities with apparent ease. I was thoroughly impressed by what he did with this role.

    At 3:16 it sounds to me likeTim starts imitating Al Jolson. I wonder if this is because that would be the style of singing popular 20 years prior when the mother was young, and is a sign that she is drifting off into a romantic fantasy. TC is so fantastically creepy doing that voice!

    Half the time I was worried they were going to "get together" as mother and son, and the other half I was worried he was lying and wanting to kill her. Turns out I was wrong on both and the ending left me even more confused.

    A rather black film!!! BUT, as a Tim Curry fan, I know this was his beginnings before he became so famous for Rocky Horror. But even in this film, you can sense the capability of weirdness of attitude that carried him forward in weird roles. His singing voice is awesome, and he actually put out an album in the 70's. I just love Tim Curry, have done so for over 30 years. I DIDN'T like his role in Criminal Minds! He seemed totally undone!

      Ok Glen claims to be Elizabeth's long lost son. She was raped when she was just a child and became pregnant and the baby was taken from her and put up for adoption. Glen eventually tells her that he burned down his adoptive parents home and escaped from a mental institution.
