Review of These Three (1936) by Darryl C — 12 Nov 2007
This is the 1936 version of hellman's first b'way success 'the children's hour'. it is done sans the lesbian plot element and it is still quite effective. hopkins is surprisingly subtle and understated and oberon holds her own despite a lacquered diction that seems out of place in the film.
joel mccrea is one of the most american of american leading men and he's solid interacting with both actresses. special mention must be given to catherine doucet as the bitchy aunt, marcia mae jones as vulnerable rosalie and the formidable bonita granville as venomous mary tilford.
