Interesting exploration of gossip, 14 August 2009
10/10
Author: johnggriff from United States

Taunt tight little drama,I don't want to to say to much about the plot . Gene Tierney is very good in this very talkie film. Tierney is expressive and restrained and gives a great performance. Despite its flaws the film held my attention. Leo Genn was also very good as the besieged teacher, nice to see him in as a leading man. Glynis Johns seems a little too mature for the part of a teenage girl, overlooking that a nice performance. Pamela Brown is wonderful as the bitter Aunt. The direction seemed very controlled. Overall an interesting film about gossip and the damage it can do to peoples lives. The performances make this Film, Tierney stands out.
