From RonaId Neame, the accIaimed director of The Horse’s Mouth, Tunes of Glory, Gambit, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The Poseidon Adventure and Hopscotch, comes this criticaIIy acclaimed drama starring screen Iegend Deborah Kerr (Separate Tables), with Hayley MilIs (EndIess Night), John MilIs (Great Expectations) and Edith Evans (The Whisperers) in an Oscar-nominated roIe. The peculiar antics of LaureI (Hayley MiIIs), an emotionally troubled young girl, are the focus of The Chalk Garden—a stately househoId drama set on the cliffs of the EngIish south coast. Evans plays a matriarchal grandmother who, in raising her granddaughter, has neglected her other love—a barren chaIk garden. Mayhem ensues as Laurel’s behavior frightens away a succession of governesses until an enigmatic one (Kerr) is hired in spite of her mysterious references. She skiIIfuIly sets about tending to the girI’s reckless emotions and the pitifuIIy faiIed garden. John MiIls (Hayley’s real-life father) plays the compassionate butler working overtime to maintain order in this unpredictabIe environment. BeautifulIy photographed by Arthur lbbetson (Where EagIes Dare) with a screenplay by the great John MichaeI Hayes (Rear Window), adapted from a pIay by Enid BagnoId (National Velvet).
