Another shriveled and beautiful dummy played by Hepburn, leading all who love her to despair

Oh god damn depressing, Hepburn's emotional scene, the thickness does not exist, the whole is a shriveled beautiful dummy. James Garner, the joy of dating a beloved woman, the desire to have a family, the pain, struggle, and obsession of being caught up in a strife; Shirley MacLaine, the jealous, self-suppressing, childlike honesty and goofy love . Hepburn, with her thin shoulders and wide-open watery eyes, said a lot but said nothing, walked around as if calm and gentle, but still led everyone around him to hell - just , in the end why did anyone fall in love with her!

The only character in the film who can logically close the loop is Fay Baint who plays the villain. Although she listened to the words of her granddaughter, spread rumors of the two female protagonists of the same sex, and then destroyed their careers and reputations, her every move was in line with the basic concepts of the times, and she also worked hard after realizing her fault. To make amends, her fault was only ill-informed, not root evil.

Because the age is too old, even imagining living in an extremely conservative and homophobic society makes me shudder. Watching this kind of film in the pride month is indeed of progressive significance that "comrades have to work hard before the revolution is over", but the film is really not good-looking.

    Isn't it a matter of course to be bent by Hepburn, girls of this era are really forgiving~ Of course, as far as the movie is concerned, I don't think Hepburn has added much color to the movie, because the movie itself is not attractive to me, but the bear child Mary This image is very successful, not only the words are not shy, but the expression that everyone has to kill makes people can't help thinking about whether this guy can be strangled if he is born...

    William Wheeler is awesome. He uses the lens to construct a delicate and infectious melodrama. He especially likes the light, shadow and composition of old black and white movies. Now the colors are colorful but the layers are hard to see. Grandma Shirley is very academic, and Hepburn is also very good. However, the role is passive and one-way at a disadvantage

The Children's Hour quotes

  • Mrs. Amelia Tilford: I don't believe this talk of jealousy between Miss Dobie and Miss Wright.

    Mary Tilford: But I didn't say she was jealous of Miss Wright. I said that Mrs. Mortar said that Miss Dobie was jealous of cousin Joe.

  • 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.
