ps. Hint of physical lesbianism, more than #TheChildrensHour a few years earlier, but still enough people could deny it was there.

They are always coming to get Barbara (Stanwyck)...if you come for the Queen, you best not miss... #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
This last shot of Karen Wright walking away from the cemetary always looks like it should be the end shot of the move I Know Where I'm Going!

Jim Rockford Origin story? 10 yrs later we find him so jaded by life that he becomes a PI in LA... #TheRockfordFiles

No Mrs Tilden, there is nothing for you to do. We are fully in tatters here.

None of this would have happened if she had just married Freddie.

Actress Miriam Hopkins, who plays Martha in #TheseThree will play a different role in The Childrens Hour.
#OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
#TheseThree is the Hollywood Hays Code approved version of Lillian Helman's play #TheChildrensHour, which will be made 30-ish years later with the same director William Wyler.

And THIS is the Shirley Maclaine I wish had showed up in Downton Abbey. #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty (The showdown between Audra MacDonald and Phylicia Rashad in the Gilded Age fortunately was able to satisfy that need...)
while Miriam Hopkins, who plays the aunt in this scene excels over her predecessor in These Three for the better interepretion of the character. #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
When it comes to the confrontation scene between Martha and her Aunt, Shirely MacLaine wins this easy over Miriam Hopkins for the snark and bite in her snatching, #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
Marcia Mae Jones in These Three gets the nod for a scream that not only cuts through your soul but splits the room in half. #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
As for the Rosalie "confession" scene-while Veronica Cartwright is clearly the 'Fredo' and always looks like she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown, #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
One thing's for sure. Hollywood has never had a bit of trouble finding extremely competent child actors to play loathsome villains. #TCMParty #TheChildrensHour
It's fun to play "Who Did it Better?" When it comes to the confrontation between Joe and Mrs. Tilford, I have to give this one to James Garner over Joel McCrea's performance in the earlier version These Three. #OscarsGoBackToClass #TheChildrensHour #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty
“WHAT they are is possibly their own business…” is an absolutely cold-hearted line and Bainter nails it #TheChildrensHour #TCMParty
But to tarnish Martha and Karen without talking to them first shows the cruelty in her own heart as well #TheChildrensHour #TCMParty #31DaysOfOscar
Mary is wicked and her grandmother enables her wicked behavior #TheChildrensHour #TCMParty #31DaysOfOscar
Mary is such a bully and Rosalie is an easy victim #TheChildrensHour #TCMParty
Watching #TheChildrensHour #TCMParty #31DaysOfOscar
When it comes to kid villains my mind goes to Mary Tilford, the lying schoolgirl in #TheseThree (Bonita Granville) and #TheChildrensHour (Karen Balkin)

Didn't #theChildrensHour end much more unhappily?

#tcm #tcmparty #TheseThree sad how it was dumbed down, but still showing the power of a Lie :-(
The remake was more specific

Mary is just as bad a seed in this as she was in #TheChildrensHour

Not the holiday classic I was hoping to see tonight, which is why I’m not watching.
But you can read about it in this book about queer cinema during the Production Code years, bracketed by #TheseThree (1936) and #TheChildrensHour (1961)
#TCMParty
On this day in queer history: 20 November 1934
Lillian Hellman’s The Children’s Hour opened on Broadway, breaking ground with its story of two teachers whose lives are ruined by a rumor they’re lovers. A landmark moment in queer theatre history.

Between #NowVoyager & #TheChildrensHour over the weekend - teenager girls were very annoying. I like to think the girls we raise today are more self-assured w/confidence in who they are #TCMParty #SummerUnderTheStars
