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. The movie was remade with its lesbian theme openly discussed in 1961 with Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, and James Garner.
