Plot summary

The peculiar antics of Laurel, an emotionally troubled young girl, are the focus of The Chalk Garden – a stately household drama set on the cliffs of the English south coast. Edith Evans plays a matriarchal grandmother who, in raising her granddaughter, has neglected her other love – a barren chalk garden. Mayhem ensues as Laurel's behavior frightens away a succession of governesses until an enigmatic one is hired in spite of her mysterious references. She skillfully sets about tending to the girl's reckless emotions and the pitifully failed garden.

Good story that will probably keep you engaged

Good story that will probably keep you engaged, particularly Hayley Mills playing against type (to that point in her career). The problem is that it is a fairly standard Hollywood melodrama which, if my reading about the play it was based on, is inconsistent with the original story. But, to pull it off as a comedy would have required more deft handling of the material by the producer.
