Title
The governess and Mrs. Grose observe the children whispering in secret
Description
Film stills (1:01:26) from The Innocents (1961), directed by Jack Clayton. The governess and Mrs. Grose observe the children whispering in secret. The purity mother child dynamic is tainted by Miles and Flora's submissive and toying treatment of the governess, who in turn feels powerless and mistrustful of them, corrupting the demure and patient "mother" archetype she is meant to inhabit.
