The director who collaborated with Audrey Hepburn on "Roman Holiday" clearly shows a preference for Hepburn in this film: no matter in which scene she is full of charming charm that can't be ignored, and only her close-up The pictures are sparkling and full of emotion, those big beautiful and sad eyes, whoever sees them will not pity them! The story also takes place in the girls' school. The first half of the story leads to the complex emotional relationship between the three, as well as the plot of the evil little girl spreading rumors and maliciously slandering them. This girl has the charm of the classic villains in old movies at such a young age. The corners of her mouth are drooping down and she is glaring, her reaction is quick, she is calm and intimidating. It looked terrible. The second half of the film shows their notorious, unhappy, lost situation. Here, the performance of the difficult plight of homosexuals or those who are discriminated against is very meaningful. The ridicule and discrimination from the outside will eventually internalize the most basic sense of trust in adults. Collapse, and the latter is the real tormenting and painful final straw. This kind of spiritual division and contradiction deeply expresses the powerlessness and misery of innocent people when they are treated unfairly by the society, and at the end of the movie, the only real homosexuals among the two are suicides - it seems that this is the homosexuals in the old movies The only option we have in common.

The Children's Hour quotes

  • Mrs. Lily Mortar: Any day that he's in the house is a bad day. You can't stand them being together and you're taking out on me. You've always had a jealous, possessive nature even as a child. If you had a friend, you'd be upset if she liked anybody else. And that's what's happening now. And it's unnatural. It's just as unnatural as it can be.

  • Mrs. Lily Mortar: [about Mary] Oh, what happened? Did she fall?

    Karen: No, I was disciplining her.

    Mrs. Lily Mortar: And you finally hit her?
