Attention, The Kids Are Watching (French: Attention, les enfants regardent, also known as Careful, The Children Are Watching) is a 1978 French drama film starring Alain Delon.
In a small town by the sea, a group of siblings children spend most of their days watching television shows while under care of a nanny, Avocados.
One day they all go to the beach. The nanny falls asleep on a rubber raft while sundbaking on the sand. For a joke, they put her out to sea. She panics when she wakes up and ends up drowning. The kids do try to save her, but when they fail they decide to not to report it.
The film was based on the novel The Children Are Watching by Charles Koenig and Peter Dixon.[2]
In June 1969 producer Ronald Kahn announced he had purchased the film rights and hired Koenig and Dixon to write a script. He said the film was "a strong comment about an age in which television can take over the minds of the young."[3]
