The Children's Hour

In this daring drama, Karen (Audrey Hepburn)

& Martha (Shirley MacLaine)

are the headmistresses of an exclusive school for girls. When they discipline a malicious little girl, the vindictive child twists an overheard comment into slander & accuses her teachers of being lesbians. Soon the scandalous gossip engulfs the school's community, with repercussions that are swift, crushing .. & tragic.

Rated NR 1 hour 48 minutes 1961

4.5 stars. Amazing acting, interesting story. The little child was a complete brat. Really liked Shirley's character!

You should see the original movie based on the play--completely whitewashed the whole lesbian thing--the story at that time was the producer said 'Call Them Thespians" which became the title of a book about gay themed movies in Hollywood!!

In 1936 the play was made into a film directed by William Wyler. However, because of the Production Code, the story was adapted into a heterosexual love triangle, the controversial name of the play was changed and the movie eventually released as These Three.[4] Hellman reportedly worked on the screenplay, virtually all of the play's original dialogue was kept, and she was satisfied with the result, saying the play's central theme of gossip was unaffected by the changes. Can't find it on Netflix though.
