Curiosidades
Gladys Cooper was originally named to play the role of Mrs. St. Maugham (which was eventually played by Dame Edith Evans). Evans, who had originally played the role on stage, very much wanted the movie role and had director Ronald Neame take her to meet producer Ross Hunter at Claridges Hotel. As Evans won the producer over, she got the part.

Pifias

Citas
[last lines]
Mrs. St. Maugham: [on the verge of tears] Is it a crime to want to be remembered?
Miss Madrigal: No. The Pharaohs built the pyramids for that reason.
Mrs. St. Maugham: What do women do in my case?
Miss Madrigal: It wouldn't hurt to go on gardening.
Mrs. St. Maugham: Have I've a muddle of my garden... and my heart? Will Olivia forgive me?
Miss Madrigal: In time, perhaps.
Mrs. St. Maugham: Would you stay with me? Would you?
Miss Madrigal: I'll stay... as long as I'm wanted. You know, we could make this place so full of life - a good life - and people would come from everywhere to see us. What do you think?
Mrs. St. Maugham: I must know one thing.
Miss Madrigal: What's that?
Mrs. St. Maugham: Did you do it?
Miss Madrigal: What many learned men at the top of their profession couldn't find out after a long, long trial. Why should you know.
Mrs. St. Maugham: Forty years ago, I should have said the same thing, but I warn you, before I die, I'll find out.

A must to see

It is a film about lies, stories untold, and murder. We enter seeing things one way and then at the end see it another. I am a MAJOR Hayley Mills fan and when I saw this on the AMC channel, I just had to see it. What a movie! It got drawn into it and was held to the end. Deborah Karr plays the role of a new/temp governess of a mean spirited child(Hayley) who can do nothing but lie. Something Deborah's character has in common. We watch as they both try to wear each other down. I was a little surprised to see Hayley bite into a role so unlike her others, and see how well she does. Deborah gives a great performance here as does John Mills(Hayley's real dad) as the caretaker.

The one who really steals the show is (Dame)Edith Evans. She is fantastic. It's hard to believe that she is older than her character, yet they had to age her for the film so she would look old enough for the role!
