I am watching this for the 2nd time after many years today, and I like it a lot better this time. So, this is the kind of film that can grow on you. It has that 1960s elegance, and the soapy melodrama that was done so well back then, with a stellar cast. Beautifully filmed, great cast, dialogue, score, and acting make this a great recommendation. You will find yourself yelling at the TV at some characters, and strongly identifying with others. This is one that pulls you in. Good movie.

holy shit i'm flabbergasted. did not expect it to be a masterpiece. such precious moments. funny moments. narrative. message. it's all there. 1961? kidding me? obviously it reflects it's time but man it gets so many things, important things, right; the old style is just lovely flavor. such a precious movie.

William Wyler made "These Three" in 1936; it's the same story with some changes to get past censorship issues. I like how he developed the first movie, and think it's too bad he didn't get to tell the story as written the first time.

While inevitably somewhat dated, taken in historical context this remains a bold, daring take on the power of "false accusations", spotlighting a gallery of terrific performances, with Balkin's chilling portrait of casual vindictiveness stealing the film from her more seasoned co-stars; Bainter and MacLaine are the highlights of the senior cast, though Garner's sensitive playing of the "progressive" audience surrogate is notable. Well done and well wrought melodrama.

Bold, fascinating melodrama, hampered somewhat by the rough-around-the-edges dialogue and Garner and MacLaine's wobbly acting. The bratty little girl is iconically loathsome.

Greatness. Never did I want to punch a little girl so much...or an old lady. It's tragic what stupidity can do to innocent people and how it makes those whom it possesses look like utter cunts.
