Directed by Jack Clayton, 1961 | Starring Deborah Kerr, Martin Stephens, Pamela Franklin
A governess for two young children at a remote, lonely country estate becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted… or that her young charges may be possessed. Based on the famously ambiguous 1898 Henry James novella The Turn of the Screw, with a screenplay by Truman Capote and William Archibald. Memorably suggestive, stunningly shot in black-and-white Cinemascope and eerily beautiful, The Innocents is widely considered one of the best ghost stories ever made.
