The Children's Hour (1961) The Children's Hour

The Children's Hour ★★ The Loudest Whisper 1961 The teaching careers of two women are ruined when girls begin circulating vicious rumors. Only an occasionally taut drama despite forceful handling of a lesbian theme. Updated version of Lillian Hellman's play (adapted by Hellman) is more explicit, but less suspenseful in spite of excellent performances from the talented cast. Remake of Wyler's own "These Three." 107m/C VHS. Shirley MacLaine, Audrey Hepburn, James Garner, Miriam Hopkins, Veronica Cartwright, Fay Bainter; Director: William Wyler; Writer: John Michael Hayes; Cameo: Alex North.
