Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Unusual Hammer film
Bette Davis stars in the title role of this much better than average Hammer film from the mid 1960's. Shot in crisp black and white, with excellent performances from the cast, this is certainly one of Hammers best efforts. It benefits strongly from being a subtle thriller, rather than the gothic blood soaked efforts the company is more famous for.
It is cleverly written so that it is never clear until quite near the end of the film exactly who is the guilty one. Without giving too much ... Read More
Rating:  - Bette Davis as The Nanny
I love Bette Davis films and that was the only reason why I bought this movie. If it were not for her in the lead role, I wouldn't have even bothered. This movie comes towards the end of Davis' career and it's one of her final lead roles. However, the film was not very interesting to me.
The story is good, but the film moves VERY, very, slowly. Ironically, the only character the viewer can sympathize with is the killer. The father is cold and indifferent; the mother is a whining, emotionally ... Read More
Rating:  - English Kabuki
It's absorbing in its own way, and it does have some incredible jolts involving children in danger, but this 1965 horror film is mostly of interest for its depiction of British anxieties regarding the corruption of the effete upper classes.

Rating: - The Nanny - Why Parents Need Therapy
Bette Davis as a nanny to a family of neurotic, overindulged, priviledged Brits. The plot is the little boy is coming home from the psych hospital where he's been for 2 yrs due to the suspicious drowning of his little sister. The kid's a brat but it turns out things aren't what they appear to be. I don't generally like Bette's later film roles; I don't like to see such a great actress as a psychotic clown as she was in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. I prefer to remember her as ... Read More
Rating: - "The Nanny" delivers...
This film is a neat little thriller. Here, Ms. Davis plays a nanny heading a household where a girl has died two years earlier. Her young brother is now returning home after staying at a correctional facility due to behavior problems immediately following his sibling's death.
When he arrives back, his mother is still near a nervous collapse and not sure she is ready to handle the boy, as he is still extremely unruly and could often use a good swack. He also accuses the nanny of killing his sister. ... Read More
