It's hard to think that this 1960s film really created a pioneering significance. The director and screenwriter were really bold and chose such a theme. One of the two major themes of this film, the topic of lesbian, was mentioned in that era. This topic is really epoch-making. I have seen so many mainland films, and I feel that there are no cinema films that dare to play this theme. Another theme is about the harm of public opinion to people. For the standard now, it is Internet violence. , as long as a little problem is caught, and then infinitely magnified in the communication between people, it can quickly destroy a person...

The story is very simple. The films of that era seem to have very simple soundtracks, but the dialogue is very dense. The two heroines support the scene, and the acting of the little girl who plays the villain is really good.

    "Go away from me and love and pity, and all the things that mess people up. Go away by yourself, and I will, too." The composition of each frame is picturesque.

    Watching Audrey Hepburn's wonderful performance is the best gift this movie gives to the audience; in terms of material, this movie is ahead of its time; the sentence that children don't lie is not entirely true, at least when she has her own ideological inclination, This sentence does not apply; the power of public opinion is powerful and difficult to control. There used to be a saying that thousands of people point out and die without a problem. This movie may be the embodiment of this sentence.

The Children's Hour quotes

  • Dr. Joe Cardin: We can't go on like this. Everything I say is made to mean something else!

    Karen: I guess every word has a new meaning. Child, love, friend, woman. There aren't many safe words anymore. Even 'marriage' doesn't have the same meaning anymore.

    Dr. Joe Cardin: It does to me, and it should to you, if

    [he pauses]

    Karen: If what?

  • Martha: Cooking always makes me feel better... Well, I suppose I'll have to feed the duchess, even vultures have to eat. I baked a cake. And you know what, I found a bottle of wine. We'll have a good dinner. Where's Joe?

    Karen: Gone.

    Martha: Patient? Will he be back in time for dinner?

    Karen: No.

    Martha: Then we'll wait dinner for him... What's the matter, Karen?

    Karen: He won't be back anymore.

    Martha: You mean he won't be back anymore, tonight.

    Karen: He won't be back at all.
