@gabeufo: martha’s confession — Shirley MacLaine in THE CHILDREN’S HOUR (1961) 🎬 the old hollywood psychological drama starring audrey hepburn and shirley maclaine was one of the first movies to explicitly talk about homosexuality, and director william wyler was only able to finally produce a faithful adaptation of the material once the Hays Code (a set of moral self-censorship guidelines for hollywood films) had been liberalized. even though it was a first step, in the documentary film The Celluloid Closet (1996), shirley maclaine said that, looking back, she still feels they didn’t make the picture the right way. for example, she mentioned that some scenes were cut from the film in which martha’s love for karen is explored further, such as brushing karen’s hair, baking for her, or ironing her clothes - scenes she felt were essential to the story and to her character. despite everything, The Children’s Hour is still one of the most memorable LGBTQ films ever made, one that I love and consider to be amongst my all-time-favorites list, and the performances of shirley and audrey should never be forgotten. #thechildrenshour #shirleymaclaine #audreyhepburn #oldhollywood #filmedit
