Curiosidades

Down Will Come Baby is a 1999 American suspense thriller television film written and directed by Gregory Goodell, based on the 1991 novel of the same name by Gloria Murphy. The film tells the story of Leah, a career woman who prioritizes work over her husband Marcus and their young daughter Robin. Leah accepts an out-of-state promotion that takes her away from her family, just as Robin is going through a difficult time following the accidental death of her friend at summer camp. The family's kindly new neighbor Dorothy steps in to help, but Leah suspects that Dorothy's seemingly innocent interest in her daughter belies a darker motive.

Production

Down Will Come Baby was written and directed by Gregory Goodell, based on the 1991 novel of the same name by Gloria Murphy. It was produced by Hearst Entertainment for CBS, with Renee Valente and Paullette Breen serving as executive producers. The creative team also included Tom Del Ruth (director of photography), Paul Dixon (editor), and Joseph Conlan (composer).

Meredith Baxter said the role of Leah appealed to her because she could relate to the struggle of being a working mother. She was also drawn to the notion put forth in the script that even ordinary people can find themselves in extraordinary situations, noting that the film starts out following a very normal family before taking a sudden sinister turn.

This confirms that the networks are again ready and willing to accept stories made up by the magnificence of a writer's mind. For a long period of time, it seemed a script had to come from the headlines before it had any dramatic credibility.

The film was shot on location in Phoenix, Arizona, based out of the downtown area, from February to March 1999. It was shot over 18 days in what Baxter described as a "pretty demanding" schedule. Several local Arizonan actors rounded out the supporting cast including Booze-Mooney, Thompson, Glaeser, and McKay.
