These Three
“Were they the innocent victims of a whispering campaign?”
Martha and Karen graduate from college and turn an old Massachusetts farm into a school for girls. The friends are aided in their venture by local doctor Joe Cardin, who begins a relationship with Karen, and a prominent woman whose granddaughter, Mary, later enrolls in the new school. Mary soon reveals herself to be a spiteful child and tells a scandalous lie about Martha and Joe that threatens to destroy the lives of all involved.
A simmering pot of social anxieties and whispered accusations. This film feels like a stifling drawing-room drama where reputations hang by a thread, and a single, venomous lie can unravel everything. It's a masterclass in building dread through hushed tones and moral quandaries.
