THESE THREE (1936) with Merle Oberon, Miriam Hopkins, Joel McCrea, and
Bonita Granville.  Very loosely based on Lillian Hellman's play THE
CHILDREN'S HOUR.  Nasty little rich girl Granville ruins the reputation of
schoolteacher Oberon by claiming she saw McCrea coming out of Oberon's
bedroom late at night.  Also, William Wyler remade the picture in 1961
with Audrey Hepburn, Shirley Maclaine, and James Garner.  The play's title
and lesbian theme were reinstated.  Personally, I prefer the earlier
version.  It is less dreary and Bonita Granville gives an excellent
performance as the little girl.
Does anybody know why Granville quit acting when she grew up?
