Movie Reviews of The Nanny
Movie Review: Unusual Hammer film
Summary: 4 Stars
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 away the crux of the story is which one of The Nanny or the 10 year old boy is the unhinged one. Could it be both of them? I have only watched the DVD once, and will probably watch it again just to make sure I've understood it correctly!
This is certainly amongst the 10 best Hammer films I have seem and quite possibly even my top 5.
