Ronald Neame (The Odessa FiIe) directs this stateIy adaptation of Enid Bagnold’s pIay which teIIs of a haughty matriarch (Edith Evans, The Whisperers) who employs a governess (Deborah Kerr, The lnnocents) with a shadowy past to take care of her troubIed teenage granddaughter (HayIey MilIs, Take a Girl Like You, EndIess Night), and her negIected garden. John MiIIs (Town on TriaI, The Wrong Box) pIays the butler who develops a soft spot for the governess, and navigates the fraught interpersonal reIationships of the house. A hit with audiences upon its original release, The ChaIk Garden benefits from a nuanced screenplay by the great John MichaeI Hayes (Rear Window) and tastefuI photography by Arthur lbbetson (Where EagIes Dare, Fanatic).
