Review
Penetrating drama of two young women (Oberon, Hopkins) running school,
ruined by lies of malicious student Granville; loosely based on Lillian
Hellman's The Children's Hour. Superb acting by all, with
Granville chillingly impressive; scripted by the playwright. Remade
in 1961 by same director as The Children's Hour. ****
(Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 1997 Edition).
Marcia Mae Jones and Bonita Granville (scanned by webmaster).
