Produced to the highest standard in line with the other Ultimate Guides in the Classic Monsters range, this guide to The Innocents<\/em> is a uniquely beautiful resource, an informative and engaging publication capturing the singular atmosphere of dread and oppression that makes the movie unforgettable.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Based on Henry James\u2019 1898 novella \u2018The Turn of the Screw\u2019, The Innocents<\/em> is a movie like no other. Adapted by\u00a0William Archibald\u00a0and\u00a0Truman Capote, it drew audiences into a strange tale of isolation and strange passions. Deborah Kerr\u2019s captivating performance, alongside the creepy-as-anything Martin Stephens and Pamela Franklin, turned the grand house of Bly into a nightmare. It\u2019s no wonder The Innocents<\/em> is such a popular subject for discussion among scholars and critics: in the pages of the Ultimate Guide to The Innocents<\/em>, we offer our own perspective on a movie that never loses its power to chill.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

As you progress through this Innocents<\/em> 1961 magazine guide, you\u2019ll discover a range of engaging, professionally written articles exploring the film\u2019s literary origins, its move to the screen, and the mesmerising results, as well as the lasting impact it has on popular culture. Our passion for cinema shines through in every page; clean, timeless design captures the movie\u2019s stately atmosphere of dread, and high quality printing and finishing gives a luxury feel that you\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Is it a ghost story? A psychological horror? A suspense thriller? Or all three? It matters not, as the Ultimate Guide to The Innocents<\/em> leads you through a shadowy world of possession, obsession and love beyond death, with an aesthetic sensibility that makes this luxury magazine unmissable. The Ultimate Guide to The Innocents<\/em> is printed to A4 size (210mm x 297mm) with a sturdy gloss finish cover capturing key moments from the film, while the inner pages are printed on fine silk stock to give a subtly opulent feel.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Key to the unsettling power of The Innocents<\/em> is Freddie Francis\u2019 breathtaking cinematography, with inky shadows and claustrophobic lighting creating an array of stunning images that linger in the imagination and only serve to deepen the mystery. Here, too, you\u2019ll find the guide to The Innocents<\/em> is an essential for your collection, as the range of stills on show here is truly glorious. Every carefully-selected still is meticulously restored to look its absolute best – and in a magazine guide to a film as beautiful as this, would you want any less? Meanwhile, the print quality is another hallmark of the excellence that characterises this gorgeous publication. Unlike cheaper newspaper-style printing, which leaves images flat and dull, this Innocents<\/em> 1961 magazine guide is printed using high quality full colour print processes. This means that even black and white stills are printed to the highest standard: shadows are deeper, details are crisper, and every haunting moment from this undisputed classic looks its best.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

A small cast only adds to this movie\u2019s power, and our Innocents<\/em> guide looks at each of the characters, and their performances in the hands of a skilled team of players. From star Deborah Kerr, who gave a tense portrayal of Miss Giddens, through to Martin Stephens and Pamela Franklin as her charges Miles and Flora, with a sinister turn from Peter Wyngarde and affecting support from Megs Jenkins as Mrs Grose, The Innocents<\/em> is packed with memorable performances. That\u2019s why, in addition to the informative articles looking at the creation and development of the film itself, the Ultimate Guide to The Innocents<\/em> includes a wealth of biographies revealing the lives and careers of the performers whose work turned James\u2019 creepily ambiguous narrative into a frightening reality.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Of course, the crew working behind the camera are vital to the movie\u2019s success, so The Innocents<\/em> Ultimate Guide also features fact-packed biography features introducing the hugely talented team who worked in the shadows to craft this piece of cinematic magic. From director Clayton to writers James, Archibald and Capote through to cinematographer Francis and other key crew members, you\u2019ll discover the wealth of talent behind the movie.<\/p>\n

That new governess seems a little uptight, and why does she keep getting all upset? Sure, little Miles can be a bit grown-up for his age, and his language can be a little ribald, but surely that\u2019s no reason for her to get so hysterical. I think we should go and find somewhere quiet, read the Ultimate Guide to The Innocents<\/em> in peace, and calm down a bit. Perhaps we could take a seat in the schoolroom upstairs. On second thoughts, perhaps not – I\u2019m sure I can hear someone crying in there\u2026<\/p>\n
