"These Three", a 1936 film with Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon and Joel McCrea was an adaptation of the original Lillian Hellman play, "The Children's Hour", in which two women running a boarding school for girls lose their careers after one of the students accuses them of lesbianism. In "These Three" the story was changed to fit the Production Code's standards and the theme of lesbianism was replaced with a heterosexual love-triangle. Otherwise, virtually all of the play's dialogue remained intact in the film and Hellman (who had worked on the screenplay) was reportedly satisfied with the result, saying the work's central theme about gossip was unaffected. Bonita Granville and Marcia Mae Jones [ [http://news.independent.co.uk/people/obituaries/article2938929.ece Marcia Mae Jones - Obituaries, News - Independent.co.uk ] ] played the gossip-mongering children in perhaps the best roles of their careers; Granville received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress.

The movie was remade with the lesbian theme of the play kept intact in "The Children's Hour" (1961) starring Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, and James Garner, and with Fay Bainter and Hopkins in supporting roles.
