Starring Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, James Garner
A child’s lie has life-shattering consequences in this daring adaptation of Lillian Hellman’s celebrated play—previously filmed by director William Wyler as THESE THREE. Karen (Audrey Hepburn) and Martha (Shirley MacLaine) are the headmistresses of an exclusive school for girls. When they discipline a malicious little girl, the vindictive child twists an overheard comment into slander and accuses her teachers of being lovers. Soon, the scandalous gossip engulfs the school community with repercussions that are swift, crushing, and tragic.
