Short description
In a mid-19th century Essex country house, a young governess for two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted by ghosts and that the children are being possessed.
What's left behind the scenes
- To participate in writing the screenplay for this film, Truman Capote took a break from working on his novel 'In Cold Blood' (1965).
- When Deborah Kerr's character first arrives at the estate, it is a bright sunny day. To emphasize this, Freddie Francis even ordered some of the trees to be painted in lighter tones.
- When the ghost of Peter Quint appears in the window, actor Peter Wingard (1927-2018) was placed on a trolley, which was then simply rolled up to the window and then rolled back again.
- To protect the children involved in the filming, director and producer Jack Clayton (1921-1995) ordered that the full script not be shown to them. The children only received limited information about the scenes they were to play in the morning before filming.
- Cinematographer Freddie Francis (1917-2007) achieved the image contrast by using a large number of powerful lights. They produced light so bright that actress Deborah Kerr (1921-2007) wore sunglasses between takes.
