| Synopsis: A screen
adaptation of Lillian Hellman's play about two teachers
at a private girls' school accused of lesbianism.
The fomenter of the scandal is one of the pupils,
a mean-spirited and mentally unstable girl who convinces
her grandmother that she and the other students
have been exposed to unspeakable depravity. In the
course of the escalating affair havoc is wreaked
on all sides. Karen Wright, the younger and more
emotionally vulnerable of the two teachers watches
her relationship with her fiance collapse while
her alleged lover, Martha Dobie, must come to terms
with her own hidden desires. |
