About the event
The screenplay was adapted by William Archibald and Truman Capote. Its plot follows a governess who watches over two children and comes to fear that their large estate is haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.
Shot in breathtaking “Cinemascope” with a wide aspect ration, and utilizing many in camera effects to produce a sinister and surreal effect, The Innocents is widley considered a classic thriller... (the film is a little scary! But not scary like a modern film).
Though relatively tame by today's “horror” film standards, the film is considered a classic in the genre, and also the general “film making” genre as well.
