THE CHILDREN'S HOUR (DUAL FORMAT EDITION) - BLU-RAY

The Children's Hour (DVD + Blu-ray)
Directed by William Wyler

Based on Lillian Hellman's ground-breaking 1934 play and nominated for 5 Academy Awards. The Children's Hour is set at an exclusive girl's school managed by best friends Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine. When a badly behaved student starts rumours that her teachers are in a lesbian relationship, there are serious and tragic repercussions for everyone.

Directed by William Wyler (Ben Hur, Roman Holiday) and co-starring James Garner as Hepburn's boyfriend, The Children's Hour is a forceful examination of the power of malice and rumour in an intolerant society.
