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 involved.

Directed by William Wyler (Ben Hur, Roman Holiday) and co-starring James Garner as Hepburn’s boyfriend, The Children’s Hour still stands as a powerful indictment of the malice of lies and rumours in society. This is the first time the film is available on Blu-ray in the UK.
