The Innocents (1961)

Posted on 23:43 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: Jack Clayton
Writers: William Archibald, Truman Capote, John Mortimer, Henry James
Cinematographer: Freddie Francis
Composer: Georges Auric
Cast: Deborah Kerr, Megs Jenkins, Martin Stephens, Pamela Franklin, Peter Wyngarde

Clayton’s stunning film, an adaptation of Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw (1898), chronicling a new governess’s gradual realisation that her charges have been possessed by malevolent spirits (although her theories don’t receive much support), is, with its sumptuous yet unsettling imagery, frighteningly good child performances, and disquieting soundtrack, one of Cinema’s most memorable and affecting ghost stories.
