Teenage hellion Hayley Mills squares off against her new governess Deborah Kerr. It all takes place in a seaside manor on the coast of England. Hayley pretends to be a pyromaniac or a killer to get attention, Kerr keeps a straight face while hiding her mysterious past. I found myself losing interest when the plot shifts its attention to that past, but it picks up again towards the end with the arrival of an elderly judge who makes a surprising revelation. Hayley's British films tend to be more adult themed than her contemporaneous Disney productions, and this is no exception.
