trailer:
FilmReference.com says, "Lewin's film presents a fascinating mediation between Wilde's effete aestheticism and Hollywood's conventional realism." Classic Horror says it's worth watching but doesn't achieve greatness. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus rating of 93%. Here's a screenshot from the trailer:

Oh those hats. Oh that tea. Loved seeing Angela Lansbury so young and innocent looking in the trailer. I actually saw the film on Turner Movies on cable. It was really rather scary, but truly amazing. I loved the ending. In the end, all's well that ends well. Thanks for sharing this film at T this week, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a film I really like. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, this take me back! I love Angela Lansbury too, such a fabulous actress 😀. Wishing you a very happy T Tuesday! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteI adore this film. It's one of my all-time favorites! And what a fabulous cast! I often will say to someone who looks remarkably young for their age, "You must have a picture in YOUR closet!" Sadly, these days, not everyone (almost no one) gets the reference!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have seen this film a few times and really enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'll don a hat as long as we have AC. Can you image how tough it must have been before AC? Hope you had a fabulous T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love this film and the book! Now I need to read it again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,

Evil and very deep horror - a very amazing story and movie. Great share, and it would be fun to get some hat, dress up and all have tea together! Happy T-day!
ReplyDeleteI read the book when I went through an Oscar Wilde phase when I was young. I've never seen the film, so I will try to find it online somewhere.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see Angela Lansbury so young. And oh those hats!!
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Wow ~ I've never heard of this movie ~ Angela Lansbury is so young in this! ~ I'll have to see if I can find it to watch. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteGreat trailer photo for T Day! I have to check this out as the actresses are favorites of mine, too. Happy belated T Day.
ReplyDeleteI like this movie version of the story best.
