Ep. 46 The Turn Of The Screw

Join hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg for a deep dive
into Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw and its cinematic
adaptations. The story of a naive governess & her innocent
charges is the quintessential ghost story, a metaphorical
exploration of abuse, theodicy and the ways in which adults let
down the children around them. Some of the adaptations discussed
include Jack Clayton’s 1961 masterpiece The Innocents, Michael
Winner’s surprisingly erudite and unsurprisingly tasteless prequel
The Nightcomers and the recent work of irredeemable stupidity The
Turning (which reimagines the story as a grunge-era Stephen King
knock-off.) The Pink Smoke site:
