John Bailey on the Cinematography of The Innocents

Posted September 30, 2014 03:29 PM by Webmaster

The Criterion Collection has released a clip from an exclusive video interview with cinematographer John Bailey included on the recent Blu-ray release of Jack Clayton's The Innocents.

The Innocents was recently restored in 4K by Twentieth Century Fox.

Synopsis: This genuinely frightening, exquisitely made supernatural gothic stars Deborah Kerr as an emotionally fragile governess who comes to suspect that there is something very, very wrong with her precocious new charges. A psychosexually intensified adaptation of Henry James's classic The Turn of the Screw, cowritten by Truman Capote and directed by Jack Clayton, The Innocents is a triumph of narrative economy and technical expressiveness, from its chilling sound design to the stygian depths of its widescreen cinematography by Freddie Francis.
