The Children's Hour (Wyler, 1961): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.15pm
Funeral Parade Queer Film Society introduction:
Longtime friends Martha and Karen are teachers at a boarding school
for young girls. When a rebellious student is punished, she accuses
Karen and Martha of being in a romantic relationship with one
another, scandalising the local community. This seminal film is a
landmark for queer representation in mainstream cinema, with a pair
of moving and tender performances from Audrey Hepburn and Shirley
Maclaine at its centre.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
