The Innocents. <\/em><\/p>\n

A great British actress died this week<\/a>. She was also something of a movie star in the Fifties, rolling in the surf with Burt Lancaster in From Here to Eternity<\/em><\/a> (1953) and standing up to Yul Brynner in The King and I<\/em><\/a> (1956). Prior to that she starred in two films for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp<\/em><\/a> (1943) (where she played three roles) and Black Narcissus<\/em><\/a> (1947). But for me she’ll always be the (literally) haunted Miss Giddens in The Innocents<\/em><\/a> (1961), Jack Clayton’s superb adaptation of The Turn of the Screw<\/em>. Still one of the most effective screen ghost stories; try and see it this Halloween.<\/p>\n
