The Children's Hour

Streaming video - 1962

A child's lie has life-shattering consequences in this daring adaptation of Lillian Hellman's celebrated play. Karen (Audrey Hepburn) and Martha (Shirley MacLaine) are the headmistresses of an exclusive school for girls. When they discipline a malicious little girl, the vindictive child twists an overheard comment into slander and accuses her teachers of questionable behavior. Soon, the scandalous gossip engulfs the school community with repercussions that are swift, crushing...and tragic.
