Pamela Franklin (Flora) & Martin Stephens (Miles)

The Innocents (1961)

“Ultimately, however, the film is not strictly about ambiguity and the terror of uncertainty. While it is true that we never really learn if the spirits of Quint and Ms. Jessel are haunting the children, the true horror of The Innocents lies not in this ambiguity, but in the decay it highlights: the decay of sanity, the decay of social norms, and the decay of innocence. The imagery of decay is everywhere – the flower petals that fall to the ground or the aging, bug infested statuary in the garden. More disturbing, the children themselves are forces of decay. Damaged by the perverse relationship between Quint and Ms. Jessel, the children have been corrupted, their innocence disturbing and twisted. When Miles turns to Ms. Giddens and calls her a hussy, a dirty old hag, he immediately flees and then breaks into tears, shocked at his owns words, reminding us of the fragility of innocence. Decay, like death, is unavoidable.” [x]
