The Chalk Garden

I saw the 1964 movie version of this play, with Hayley Mills cast as Laurel. I enjoyed the movie but hadn't been aware that it had been a play. I remember reading that Ms. Mills, having been cast previously in the saccharine Pollyanna role (in which I'd seen her), was concerned about being typecast. Her character in the The Chalk Garden is nasty and disturbed, so I'd say she succeeded.
I'll be mailing this to LynnWrites in the near future.
This book was a surprise addition to a box containing a bookring book. I enjoy scripts, and this looks both intelligent and fascinating. Thanks so much.
