 Rating:  - Child actress Bonita GranvilleBonita Granville did an absolutely excellent job playing the role of a 12 to 13 year old spoiled school girl who ruins the lives of three young adults by making up malicious lies about them. Rating: - Amazing film for 1936I just saw this movie for the first time and I was greatly impressed. I guess what impressed me the most was how the writer and director could cover such a topic so well back in 1936. I was informed that the play, by Lillian Hellman, had an even more notorious subject matter but this movie got the point across.

Merle Oberon and Miriam Hopkins open a girls' school on Merle's grandma's old farm, which they handily renovate with the help of nearby neighbor, doctor Joel McCrea. Though they at first start out three comrades, it doesn't take long before Joel and Merle pair off, leaving Miriam to carry a torch--silently--for the handsome doctor. Everything remains aboveboard, though, ... Read More Rating: - Telling LiesLilian Hellman's original story is watered down and made palatable to 1930's audiences in this tale of a mean little girl who ruins the lives of her teachers at the private school she attends. Merle Oberon and Miriam Hopkins are best friends and teachers at a school, and young Bonita Granville concludes that Hopkins has become involved with Oberon's boyfriend Joel McCrea. Granville has gotten herself into trouble, so she spreads the rumour to deflect her concerned grandmother's attention. Hopkins, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
