Weekend with the Babysitter is a 1970 American drama-romance film directed by Don Henderson about a movie director whose disillusionment with his wife leads to complications with a young babysitter amidst a heroin-smuggling scheme.

Programmer's Pick

Leave the kids with the neighbors—this babysitter has her hands full with restless adults, not toddlers. Don Henderson delivers a mayhem-filled weekend where lost innocence isn't just for the young. Even the side plots have a taste for danger, thanks to heroin, horny housewives, and that oh-so-1970 whiff of exploitation.

Overview

When a disaffected film director discovers an uncomfortable truth about his wife, his path crosses with Mona, the alluring babysitter who soon finds herself entwined in far more than childcare duties. Weekend with the Babysitter unpacks the tangled web of desires, betrayals, and midlife malaise, as the home’s boundaries are tested over one eventful weekend. As adult frustrations and youthful temptations simmer, the story teases out themes of extramarital longing and generational clashes, set against the backdrop of a drug-smuggling subplot. This is a drama-romance that revels in its own era’s taste for sexploitation and provocative relationship complications, all while spotlighting late 1960s counterculture excess.
