If there has been a theme to my Women In Horror Month offerings, it has been The Women of 60s Horror. Barbara Steele, Deborah Kerr, Clare Bloom, Veronica Carlson…I’ve highlighted a number of women from 1960s horror over the course of the month, and it’s about time I explained why.
One of the masterstrokes of the film is the relationship between Eleanor and Theo. It is one of the first films to portray an LGBT character in a genuinely positive way, and Claire Bloom’s performance as Theo is key to this. Theo is hip, modern and smart, and her attraction to spinster Eleanor is handled in a mature and sensitive manner.
