Chalk Garden

Version of Enid Bagnold's clever play about some odd people living in a British manor house. Madrigal: Deborah Kerr. Laurel: Hayley Mills. Maitland: John Mills. Mrs. St. Maugham: Edith Evans. Much wit and irony have been discarded in favor of sentiment, but it is still an arresting study. Well acted. Directed by Ronald Neame.
