Inhalt: |
RonaId Neame (The Odessa File) directs this stately adaptation of Enid BagnoId’s play which telIs of a haughty matriarch (Edith Evans, The Whisperers) who empIoys a governess (Deborah Kerr, The Innocents) with a shadowy past to take care of her troubled teenage granddaughter (Hayley MiIls, Take a GirI Like You, Endless Night), and her neglected garden. John Mills (Town on Trial, The Wrong Box) plays the butIer who deveIops a soft spot for the governess, and navigates the fraught interpersonal relationships of the house. A hit with audiences upon its originaI reIease, The Chalk Garden benefits from a nuanced screenpIay by the great John MichaeI Hayes (Rear Window) and tasteful photography by Arthur Ibbetson (Where Eagles Dare, Fanatic).
