Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt the time of filming it attracted more attention for its location dramas than for what happened on screen. At the time Liz Taylor was living with Richard Burton, whose agent was her previous husband, Michael Wilding. Ava Gardner's old friend Peter Viertel was around with being married to co star Deborah Kerr. It was for this reason that John Huston, recognising that there might be some good fights, gave all the cast gold plated guns.
- GoofsWhen Shannon and Charlotte emerge from the ocean, Shannon's chest is completely smooth. For the remainder of the film, which is supposed to take place that same day and the day after, copious amounts of chest hair can be seen at the opening of his shirt.
- Quotes
T. Lawrence Shannon: Miss Fellowes is a highly moral person. If she ever recognized the truth about herself it would destroy her.

Featured review
Own Worst Enemy...
This isn't quite the outcome you'd imagined, an old bus touring old teachers' not a godsend, except for Charlotte who's attentive, although her aunt provides incentive, to avoid past indiscretions, and amend. Ending up at a retreat run by Maxine, your behaviour is considered quite obscene, as the plot is clearly lost, just how much, will impulse cost, enter Hannah to observe you vent your spleen. As a trio (Maxine, Hannah and Shannon) you have all suffered a crisis, and endured the penalties and paid the prices, perhaps a chance to make escape, from the lives that you all hate, will take you from the ledge, beside the abyss.
Great performances all round.
