The Children's Hour (1962)

Human Drama - Based on a play staged in the 1930's and based on a historical incident over a hundred and fifty years ago. Two women run a boarding school for girls, and one of the students claims these two women are having lesbian sex. It happens that this girl is the granddaughter of a very influential woman in town who insists on closing the school. Well-acted by Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn (the head teachers) and male friend of both (James Garner). Interesting plot -though a bit out of times for this day and age. Filmed in black and white. 1 hr.49 min.
