As eerie apparitions appear and the children's behavior becomes strange, the governess begins to wonder about the fate of the previous governess and her sadistic lover.

The pumpkin eater

6 editions published between 1964 and 2010 in English and held by 21 libraries worldwide Anne Bancroft's cathartic lead performance anchors The Pumpkin Eater, Harold Pinter's harrowing, elliptical tale of marital dissatisfaction. Though much of the film concerns her character's fitful bouts with depression, Bancroft charges every moment she's onscreen, employing an array of subtle gestures and facial expressions to convey what her repressed character cannot. Pinter and director Jack Clayton never resort to facile satire or pat assignations of blame; instead, the film charts the slow, irreversible manner in which a chasm can grow between husband and wife. As Bancroft's callous husband, Peter Finch perfectly conveys the subtle, damaging hypocrisies that eventually break his wife's spirit. James Mason has a particularly memorable supporting role as a vitriolic, passive-aggressive acquaintance of the couple.

After one particularly distressing day, when they owe money to all their clients, the three bookmakers are forced to disappear rather rapidly. Talking over their grim financial state, Alf comes up with a brilliant idea. Cardinal, the French wonder horse, is due to race next week and if they could somehow switch this animal, then they would stand to make a packet. At this very moment, a horse pokes its head over the hedge behind them-they are in business. They have found their switch, the living image of Cardinal. A few days before the race, the three friends set up headquarters in a pub and begin to make preparations. But a series of farcical disasters overtake them and they end up by mislaying their horse. Undeterred, Alf seeks the help of an unscrupulous jockey, and when this plan fails, Fred is ordered to ride Cardinal. Cardinal wins the race, but refuses to stop at the post. Pursued by an ambulance, a fire engine and the police, Fred leads a hectic chase across the countryside. But once it is over, the three unfortunate bookmakers, still owing money on Cardinal's victory, are forced to keep on running.
