Not to long ago something finally possesed me to read Henry James' The Turn of the Screw; I've always found James pretty unreadable, and though this was a hard slog, it wasn't as bad as I was afraid. But I still couldn't see what the fuss was about. Yesterday we saw The Innocents (1961), which I hadn't realized from the blurb was based on the James story, and the movie seemed to be pretty much the same as what I remembered of the story, but I still don't get what the fuss is all about. Anyway, nifty summary and discussion of the story here.
