Review of The Children's Hour (1961) by Chandler H — 21 Aug 2014
What kind of a fool would believe such a story? Outside of a complete dystopian fantasy would the person passing scrutiny have the one of the two girls dragooning the other with her competing strutting and fretting during the climactic scene.
Moreover, it is beneath even the Twilight Zone's standards to feature a series of leading questions from the accused women, as the director did, quite bizarrely. If you want a real "molestation" thriller, watch Doubt.
Even with all of the credibility issues throughout this film, Shirley McLaine acting is ageless and timeless, and Audrey Hepburn kicks a** .
