I read Evelyn Piper's book, and it was so bad, it demonstrated just how talented producer and writer Jimmy Sangster was. The Nanny is a top-notch, intelligent thriller, with great drama and suspense, and sterling performances from Bette Davis (in the title role) and William Dix as young Joey. Very stylishly done.

I remember watching this on some BBC repeat back in my childhood and I was absolutely terrified. The scene with the girl just lying motionless in the bath still raises goosebumps. It may not be up there with 'The Innocents' but it's still a spooky, psychological drama that demonstrates what a class act Bette Davis was. Buy it and revel in this 60's slice of horror.
