Title
Miss Jessel appears before the governess in the classroom
Description
Film stills (1:04:30) from The Innocents (1961), directed by Jack Clayton. The spirt of Miss Jessel appears before the governess in the children's classroom within the manor. The ghost is weeping, trapped in the domestic space that these women share. The feminine influence and communication between the women further indoctrinates the governess to Miss Jessel's plight and cements their bond, with her immediately taking the ghost's seated position at the lectern.
