It is so ironic that I stumbled upon this movie. I was a doctoral student at Oxford in the 1980s and was bullied because my research was considered scandalous by some members of the University. I was bullied and forced to cease conducting research because of the wide publicity it was gaining in the popular press. I was horrified that an academic institution was more concerned with their PR than research which ,ost other universities found fascinating.
Perhaps you could expand on the
nature of your studies ?
Surely can be no harm now in
letting the wider world share your
genius. ?
I am so sorry that you faced such terrible treatment and hope that other positive experiences in life helped to balance out the prejudice you faced. Women today still face so much discrimination, we have to rise up and use our voice and vote to change things. Mutual respect seems so simple but is so hard to come by.
They find it interesting if a different University does the Research, with understanding of research funds, time frame, quantifiers and how their research would gain from publicity.
WOW so the censorship of knowledge has been an essential part of control forever then! Typical, you cant be part of the Old Boys Club unless you tow the line. No PhD for you if your bring up theories or evidence that do not support the powers that be.
Thanks for telling people about this, so they question AUTHORITY!
They tossed out Sir Captain Richard F. Burton and look at the great man he turned out to be. I know how universities and colleges can be when it comes to reputation. Here in the U.S it's about who can bring in the most money. I see it's been two years since you posted this comment so I hope your research turned out to be a success.
When I first visited Versailles at the age of 16 in the late 1980’s I had the most overwhelming feeling I had been there before, all the furniture and surroundings felt so incredibly familiar the feeling was so overwhelming and so real that it has never left me.
I actually had to do a doubletake when I read this comment; I thought perhaps I had written it but had forgotten. I had the same experience at Versailles when I was 18. I've mentioned it to my family many times. I descend from French nobility on my father's side. I often wonder if that may have provoked thge strong sense of being there before. I truly felt as if I knew the grounds and gardens as well as my own backyard. I broke away from my tour group to explore on my own. I normally can't find my way out of a paper bag, but I had no trouble navigating, although a few times I thought things weren't as they once were. Paths and placements felt off kilter. It was weird and surreal, and as I think about it now I get the same feelings all over again. -
@@janewithay9049 That’s fascinating! I’m actually speechless with your response perhaps we may have been siblings or related in a previous life? I’ve had dreams that felt so real where downstairs was a massive entertainment ballroom, when I woke up i had no idea where I was, it took me awhile to adjust my head to where I was. I also remember as a small child looking at my mum thinking I have no idea who you are, strange thing I still feel that way. I’ve had a previous life regression but all I got though, I was definitely in Europe some place as I was walking down the street on a cobblestone road.
@@anonymousbyname1121
YES. I felt the same as you - all my life I've had memories that weren't my own and dreams so vivid they felt real. I refused to wear slacks as a little girl; always dresses. I had a sort of sling that I made from an old lace curtain and would gather flowers and clippings and place inside of it. That's bizarre for a girl in the 70's, I think.
Like you, I too had a past life regression, but it didn't take me to Europe at all. However, since that night my husband and kids claim I talk in my sleep at night in a language that sounds French. Hahah .... I know I sound cuckoo.
@@janewithay9049 It would be great to put the pieces of the puzzle together so it would make sense.
I still have dreams to this very day of the ballroom being downstairs in our house another thing that’s strange that only came to mind, it may mean something it may not but my birthday is on Bastille Day, strange right?!
The film and the book are special in my library. Wendy Hiller is superb. RIP
Bravo to these women for sticking up for what they experienced. They brought their knowledge to the proper school that was there to document these truths for the sake of science, study the paranormal. And they were rebuked but stayed true.Amazing stoŕy.
How nice to see a ghost story where "ghost" doesn't automatically translate into "ghoul" or "demon"!
Wonderful piece of acting by all and Wendy Hiller was totally masterful in this role, I was spellbound, pure and simple. I love this era in history before that dreadful war changed everything forever.
When I was a boy, back in France, the French tv also had a program mentioning the adventure of those two women in Versailles, meeting Marie-Antoinette’s ghost (which, incidentally, was never seen again … Could the place be too crowded for the queen, now ?).
La Dernière Rose (The Last Rose) ou Les fantômes du Trianon (The Ghosts of Trianon), directed by Roger Kahane and broadcasted on February 10th, 1968 (81 minutes).
I saw that with great interest, many children being thrilled with that kind of bed time stories. I live in Paris and can visit Versailles regularly, where I never forget about that tale. Never met any ghost there either, or anywhere else (even in Scotland), to my great disappointment.
Funny enough, years later, I got acquainted with the actress cast to play one of the sisters, Jacqueline Jefford. We became good friends, up until she passed away, in 2017.
I remember seeing this movie a long time ago and I loved it and seeing it again I still love it. Wendy Hiller is a great actress of her time. Thank you for showing us the movie again.
Yes indeed she was a great British actress could play any part . They could certainly act in those days .
I went to Versailles and walked around the gardens and found the very spot where this story began and that was the first I heard of it, there's a plaque there that commemorates the experience, I had no idea a film had been made and I spent the rest of the day there wandering around the woodland pathways hoping to have my own paranormal experience. I didn't know what happened to the ladies involved, what a wonderful, sad story. I believe them, why would two ladies that were almost strangers concoct such a lie, what good would it do to stick to this claim without truth. We've come a long way from the days of "principles" that forced people to deny these incidences thank goodness.
Read about the Moberly-Jourdain incident (their real names).
Apparently , the weather can have a strong influence on experiences like this one...Sultry hot weather , with possible thunderstorms.. The feeling of electricity in the air...

This was based on a true account. They thought it was strange at the time, assuming it to be a fancy dress ball or tableau vivant. There was none at Versailles at the time. What’s even stranger is that there is, now. Versailles hosts masquerade balls, which were a favorited Marie Antoinette’s in her time. Guests during the day are normal tourists, but in the evening begin arriving in full costume of circa 17th c. fancy dress, or full dominoes with masks. So, it leads me to wonder, did these ladies wander into the past... or the future?
Wow, your wonder at the ladies wander - causes me to grin - at the pondering (ty - for the twist in it)
***Edit: but then again, if the movie was correct (in reference to the date of the account being of significance to the 'evidence' - the 'telescope' of IT (as a tear in time) more seeming to point its way to the past. considering 'that dates' significance.
- still thinking out loud.
You forget the "pathways"......
But there WERE such events at the time. As someone else has suggested, read the Wikipedia summary.
What a wonderful film! I hadn't heard of it before; now I want to read the book! 😮😊📽📚
Such wonderful acting, in full accordance with the time in which it was played out, lovely Wendy Hiller and the rest of her co-acters. Thank you
Wendy Hiller is wonderful -- as she was from her Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion on -- but Hannah Gordon is quite superb as well: her farewell address to her faithful near the end is like a laser beam, gathering together all the frustration, resentment and fury she has had to hold in when dealing with the ridicule and dismissiveness of the British male establishment towards women and women's higher education in particular. I don't know if it's still on RUclips, but Gordon's performance in Day After the Fair -- a TV adaptation of the play adapted from a Thomas Hardy short story, On the Western Circuit -- is also terrific. Note: This two-part BBC drama was released on DVD in the U.S. only (with a singularly inappropriate cover!) but never to my knowledge in the U.K. A full digital refurbishment would be most welcome.
This could so easily have become a soap opera, but thanks to the incomparable Wendy Hiller and the great talent of Hannah Gordon it is a wonderful drama that depicts how hard women had, and still have, to struggle to be taken seriously. And, of course, this is a most intriguing story.
Here here
Also, I think the decision by the writer (?) to give the characters the names of their pseudonyms (rather than their real-life names) liberated the creators to fahion a compelling narrative, while honoring the spirit of the real-life events. Always a tricky matter, but here I believe they made the right call.
I wonder why they were not taken seriously and are still struggling to still be taken seriously, The British Monarchy should be ashamed of themselves. Thank God for democracy 🦅
@@Hannah_The_Elon_Jew..
power and the control of it
Imagine, if you will, two blue collar men in these ladies' roles. Would they have been any more believed?
Sometimes the narratives of oppression stray too far when concerning gender, when they could more easily be understood as concerning class.
Most inequalities can be laid at the feet of the haves and the have nots.
So pleased to watch this account a paranormal scene. There are people who are gifted with this sensory perception.
Thank you for sharing this great ghost story! We were at Versailles in 2000 and tried to retrace the steps of Miss Morrison and Miss Lamont. The spookiest thing was that the Christmas 1999 storm had knocked down all the trees. They were still burning the fallen trees when we got there in the spring. The woods were full of smoke, and I couldn’t help but think that Marie Antoinette couldn’t let the millennium pass without expressing her fury at the injustice that happened to her and her friends.
😂😂😂 Injustiça? Se você tivesse filhos morrendo de fome, e você mesmo não podendo suprir suas necessidades, e uma beligerante, estúpida,ignorante, narcisista, rainha, te dissesse, coma brioches!
Tendo ela gasto fortunas com chefs doceiros pra confeccionar doces caríssimos! E seus suditos com fome!
Eu conheço muitos políticos hoje que merecem guilhotina, e não...não seria injustiça.
I’ve watched this movie over 10 years ago and I’ve been searching for it ever since. Omg! Thank you so very much for sharing this. What an epic piece ❤❤❤
According to these I will continue to watch. True storied have a way of drawing me in! So much BS out there today and TY for giving to us!
I was thoroughly entertained by "Miss Morrison's Ghosts" as this was my first time viewing it. Thank you so much for posting this movie.
It is such a privilege to be able to watch this film.
"Pig's piddle, cow pat" ,love that line her delivery of it!!!!!
I first saw this film when I was a teenager when the film was first released. It has haunted me every since, and I am a middle-aged man now. I remember those four words "I did see them" so vividly that it's as if I had just heard them yesterday.
Read the book it's even more haunting
I was in my room,not sleeping just relaxing in my bed.suddenly a young man with a hoddy was close to my bed hand on his pocket ,light hair .i tought first he was my son coming to ask medication. I was SO surprised i didn't not scream but i wish i talk to him 🤔 he disappeared. He was clear and exactly like he was in life.
@@cbluejay2499I'm not sure you explain this properly so are you saying you were in a bed and somebody with a hoodie not a hoddy as you spelled it , came up to you and you believe it was your son who is no longer amongst the living ... 😢?
Yes it's possible that was really him if this is what you are saying .
I believe these things are real .
I’ve been fascinated by this account ever since I first heard of it. The more we learn about the strangeness of quantum physics, the more plausible the story becomes. I think many people would admit to having glitches in time or the perception of it. Things such as losing an hour or two, or the slow motion affect that sometimes accompanies accidents. I wonder if there’s ever been another filming of this? This is an enjoyable movie, but there’s something about the sound that makes it difficult for me to understand - seems like the music is louder than the dialogue. The premise is still fascinating.
Until their dying day, they both swore the events were true as they related them. I wonder if this fits into the stone tape theory? Saw this movie years ago on PBS and am delighted to see it available again.
The Ralph Fiennes cameo in the first 7 minutes is amazing! Kidding of course. I have loved Hannah Gordon since I first saw her as the second Mrs Bellamy on 'Upstairs, Downstairs' - that voice: the elegance and eloquence of it, the dark wood of its timbre touched with crystalline enunciation...
I also loved her performance as Mrs Treves in "The Elephant Man".
You had me fooled there
@@vintagebrew1057 Which she and Wendy Hiller would have filmed close in time to the filming of "Miss Morrison's Ghosts".
@@bonnacon1610 Ah yes, Ms. Hiller played the Matron in that film. What a superb movie it was. Hurt, Hiller, Gordon, Jones, Bancroft and not forgetting Dear John Guilgud.
I believe that there are unexplainable phenomenon and I have found this movie interesting yet sad as women are still held back in this modern age as there are still men and women who believe that do not have the brains and intellect beyond the home environment. Thank you for airing the movie. Brave pioneering women!!
Ungorgeousgirl And it is the decay of the home environment that has produced the broken society that we suffer from today. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, you know.
Yes, even when I was a Biology major in the 1980s, there were only 4 women out of almost 400 Biology majors. It has taken many years for women to be taken seriously.
To heck with all those Men who gladly stood at the front lines and took enemy fire, built the great cities, worked the coal mines, the roads, Dams, etc. and realized their errors from the past and corrected them.
Hey Ungorgeousgirl.., oh I feel bad saying that. Anyway, when I was a little girl around 5 or 6 years old, I saw something that to this day I can’t explain. I’m 59 now and I’m a no-nonsense person and I’m not religious either even though I was TAKEN to church from birth practically. I was afraid and I didn’t feel threatened by ‘her’. On another occasion, I did see something else that caused me to beg God every year for years.., TO NOT LET ME SEE ANYTHING ELSE. Now, I sometimes ‘see’ something in my mind and it turns out to happen or it’s true. Don’t know where that comes from. Peace to you.
@@ruthgoebel723hey Ruth, that decay was done on purpose by the swarm. See the short video The Swarm and you’ll understand. It’s by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai who’s being censored AND HE’S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. That’s a BIG NO NO AND PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT. Why should only certain people get media coverage, whether good or bad? Dr. Shiva does not get mentioned. PERIOD. He’s a big threat to those few that control the rest of us billions. 😐🤬
A great film. I remember reading about this and watching a old documentary on VHS in the days before the internet .
This was very good. After I started watching it, I remembered reading about this many years ago. Wikipedia has a very good account of it. It was the first time-slip case account I remember and the two ladies were beyond reproach. There was another incident at a school (?) in Virginia where 2-3 staff were in an elevator, and it opened up its doors to a scene of absolute chaos in a civil war battlefield hospital.
That was supposed to be in Gettysburg, PA, I believe, on Unsolved Mysteries.
@@coolcougarYes. I heard that story on a tour of Gettysburg in 2006.
The elevator incident was at Gettysburg PA
If you came here expecting a "spooky" or "horror" film, you're in the wrong place. Instead, I suggest viewing this video as almost a documentary relating the shared experiences of two female scholars with the paranormal. There is some fine and nuanced acting here.
Well, it's certainly inspired by and based on true events, but it is a fictionalized dramatization. They changed the names of the two women - substituting the pseudonyms they used upon publication of the book - which allowed much more latitude for development of the relationship between the two academics (and incidentally provided two great roles for Hiller and Gordon), and greater scope for showing the struggle for educational equality in the period. I think this is a good example of a responsible fictional treatment of real events.
That was suburb, thank you for sharing. I love these old classics, Wendy Hiller was magnificent in all her performances.
Beautiful movie! 1,901: An eldery woman (lady) working with a much younger woman; both seeking the same goals, but with different perspectives; tradition and integrity, and the longing for more freedom to get more of life. The best portrait I´ve ever seen of women at that time. / Life flows. When we let it be what it is, instead of questionning every single thing and having an explanation for each happening, we may miss experiences that need not to be explained, but just to be counted. Sensibility isn´t a sin, it´s a gift. It´s very sad, that it cost her her life, but as she said: "In every life there comes a time for courage, ... when you must stand and declare what you believe from the top of your voice, however painful, however inconvinient, no matter what the consequences, or life is simply not worth living."
Magnificent film and stellar performances by both actresses. Moreover, I feel vindicated by their true account, as I myself had a ghostly encounter at Versailles when I was a student in Paris. I applaud the original women's courage, they are heroines to the Feminist cause as well. Bravo..
I would love to hear about your encounter at Versailles if you wouldn't mind relating here? I've had two episodes of time slips in my life so I know that these things are possible. Thank you.
This was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing.
What a wonderful time slip experience it would be.
Brilliant. Thank you so much for this one. The acting is flawless. All concerned in this movie make the improbable seem perfectly plausible. No mean feat!
Yes! Thus, plausible it is. Greetings.
This was fascinating. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for this excellent upload
I've always liked this story...It is such an interesting case study of a time slip or a haunting.
As someone who has been to Versailles countless times, researched that era history, produced an independent film about Marie Antoinette and have had many odd experiences over the years, including at Versailles, This movie I found to be wonderful, albeit frustrating to know what they endured just to reveal the truth. It's tragic in a way how women were discounted so often. My heart goes out to them.
Can u please share your odd experiences? I’d love to hear them! Versailles is notorious for the paranormal activities there especially because of what happened in 1789 i dont know why some people deny or are skeptical of such things.
@La Poetessa: Yes please please. I agree with @iseeyou. Would love to hear your experiences & findings. Sounds so interesting.
@@lilMissF0F0 My paranormal experiences have been a life-long saga for me in soooo many places but here are a few of my odd experiences in Paris and Versailles.... I wrote a 3 part rambling mini-series!! lol
Part One
It was the end of October, back in the mid 1990s. My former husband had surprised me with the most amazing birthday gift imaginable...my birthday being on Halloween, my biggest dream of my life, to finally go to my favourite place in the world, the place I had been dreaming about since early childhood.... Paris and Versailles!!! I was sooooo excited I could hardly contain myself!!! And up until that point, I think it was one of the happiest experiences of my life!!! We stayed right at Place Vendôme, a stone's throw from the Ritz Carlton, sadly now infamous by the horrible death of Princess Diana but that tragedy fortunately had not taken place yet. It was a quick walk to Le Louvre and Rue St. Honoré, the most opulent shopping street in the world!!! I WAS IN ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!!!!!! Interestingly, I remember feeling at bit baffled when I seemed to know my way around the streets of Paris like the back of my hand and also seeing certain things that I knew did NOT belong there.... perhaps things that were newer that what I had "remembered!!!"
One of the first extremely disturbing...."out of time" experiences I had there was at Place de la Concord. At that point I hadn't done the VAST amounts of research on the revolution and Marie Antoinette, I just knew, for as long as I could remember that I needed to go there...or as I said many times, I needed to return home to a place I had not yet seen in...."this life." I had read several books about past lives, mainly trying to understand how it was possible to feel such a yearning and magnetic pull to a place I had never been to...in this lifetime.... and to an epoch long before I was born, the 18th century. As a young child I kept insisting that a terrible mistake had been made and that I didn't belong in that strange, seemingly foreign life I had found myself in.... living on a modest farm in a small town in southern Quebec!! I even insisted that my present day name had to be changed because it wasn't mine lol and I desperately needed to find my "real" family, to take me back to my castle or palace far, far away. My poor mother didn't know what to do with me!!! She just thought I was an odd little duckling with a flare for dramatics!! lol
So, back to Place de la Concorde where Champs de Elysées ends at that Obelisk which to me looked ridiculously out of place. It was just outside Le Jardin de Tuileries where the Palais de Tuileries once stood. It had gorgeous fountains and was crawling with very happy, picture-snapping tourists. I remember feeling so stressed, almost frantic looking around in all directions as if trying to find a certain view point. I remember my head was literally spinning, I felt nauseous, panicked and even scared. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I had that weird "out of time" feeling which I describe later at Versailles, as if for a split second I was no longer there in present day, but still on that very spot at another time, a horrible time... too fleeting to really see anything of importance but the feeling the worst angst, doom, terror and dread. Time seemed to stand still for brief moments, freezing and suddenly, when I saw that view I was searching for of certain buildings, I just gasped, my knees buckled and I collapsed on the ground, leaning against a fountain and just began to shake and sob uncontrollably, right there in front of all the happy tourists who oddly didn't seem to notice me, I felt like I was invisible as insane as that sounds!!! My poor ex husband had NO clue what was wrong with me but he just stepped back and let me go through whatever odd emotional melt down this was, and fortunately he snapped a picture of me just sitting on the ground, smoking my French cigarette sobbing. When we got back to the hotel I asked the Concierge about Place de la Concorde, if something bad had happened there and he looked at me rather surprised....as if I should have known and said in a very as a matter of fact sort of "French" way...
"Mais oui Madame, that was once Place de la Revolution, where the scaffold and guillotine once stood."
And I could feel my knees buckle again and I just looked at him trying not to get all weird and overly dramatic again....
"You mean...where.... Marie Antoinette was.... murdered?"
"Ah oui, yes, and the king and many many other aristocrats."
I couldn't believe my ears, I had never in my life had such a vividly horrid experience like that as if the ground itself had retained the blood and the carnage of those barbaric tragedies and encapsulated all those final frantic, terrified and desperate thoughts and emotions of each of the victims who had stood on that very ground upon the scaffold, hearing the screaming mob yelling obscenities and cheering as Monsieur Sanson, the executioner prepared them for their horrific demise. Oddly, I had had many nightmares which seemed eerily similar.
Later, in my research I discovered exactly which direction the scaffold was facing, the very same last view that Marie Antoinette, the maligned Queen and scapegoat of one of Frances darkest stains in history, would have seen before she was forced onto that wooden board facing down, awaiting the release of the blood-soaked blade of the ghastly guillotine to slice her head from her shoulders. They say that a beheaded person is conscious for at least 30 or more seconds as the blood drains from your brain. With that gruesome thought in mind.... from descriptions of the horrible event, someone grabbed her head from the basket by her hair and held it up to the cheering crowd and some said her cheeks flushed and she appeared lucid and aware. The mere thought of that makes me violently ill !!!! I won't get into the details of the revolution itself but I know more than I ever wish I did on the true barbaric machinations of that nefarious historical event and it had NOTHING to do with M.A.'s expenses!!! And starving angry mobs of French peasants didn't bring down the French Monarchy. It took endless supplies of money, years of strategic planning and a horrific deception that still endures to this day. One day...the truth will be known. But I've heard heard that there was a secret printing press inside Versailles which printed many of the terrible pamphlets smearing the names of the king and queen, so the enemies were closer than they could have imagined!!
I had to break up my comment because it was too long!! The rest will be continued in Part Two!
Part Two of Three!!
At Versailles I never saw Marie Antoinette or all the other characters these ladies did and I hadn't heard of their story at the time that I first visited. For me it was the incredible feelings of deja vu that struck me as soon as I arrived. I felt as if I knew that palace like the back of my hand. I even saw certain furniture or paintings and felt that they were misplaced and didn't belong where they were. In Le Grand Palais I often felt a lot of anxiety and stress and got very emotional at times. There were moments when I could have sworn I saw flashes of how it once was, in its hay day which made me really uncomfortable. It seemed very different from the way it once was.... near empty, over run with oblivious tourists...now just a sad, hollow shell of what it once was. I had the impression that the proverbial veil is very thin there as if time intersects in certain "power spots." Time seems to stand still in certain places and a cold chill hits you as you pass through.
Her bedroom made me particularly uncomfortable, anxious, almost angry at times with an odd sense of an improper lack of privacy...which sounds rather ridiculous now. Almost as if all those loud, disrespectful tourists should not have been in her private chambers. I almost felt like telling everyone to leave and give her some privacy!! lol But oddly, I felt that those feelings were not exactly.....my own. Perhaps haunting remnants of her own feelings when she never had a moment of privacy, even while giving birth to her children!! They were all in there, gathered around watching such an intimate moment like it was a sporting event!!
I even felt claustrophobic at times as if I was suffocating in such a huge building and even broke down in tears on a few occasions which seemed absolutely nuts. I was on the most bizarre rollercoaster of emotions which made no sense to me!! I should have been happy like everyone else but I was anything but. The feeling of overwhelming stress, fear and at times even anger came in waves as if I could sense the chaos of the last days when everyone was in a blind panic, running through the corridors, trying to pack and flee for their lives. I've also had very similar dreams of the exact places in the palais and seeing people running frantically and sobbing going back many years before I had been there. And I remember vividly from one of those horrible nightmares standing in front of a huge window overlooking the vast gardens. I remember sobbing, knowing I would never see that view or that place again. Perhaps tapping into what many endured in those final terrifying days when they were forced to flee. On my first visit there, I found that room with that same window and view and just burst into tears. I had never seen a picture of it so it made no sense why I remembered seeing it in a dream. There were a lot of those odd feelings.
I remember at one point needing to get out of the Grand Palais so badly, I couldn't breathe, running for the door because I was sooo overwhelmed with such intense, negative emotions. My ex-husband had never seen me act this way and couldn't figure out what was going on!!
BUT... when I finally arrived at Le Petit Trianon Palace my whole mood completely changed and the energy itself changed for the better too, as if the black clouds had finally parted. I felt an underlying sense of peace, relief, happiness and even a playful carefree feeling. I literally ran to the entrance, feeling such excitement and happiness. I remember when I first stepped onto the gorgeous stone staircase in the main entrance with the stunning wrought iron railing, the steps actually had indentations from all the hundreds of years of use. I had a couple of POWERFUL deja vu's at that moment, the second I stepped on the first step and touched the railing, it was electric!!! And a few times I felt "an out of time" sensation, even faintly hearing music, distant voices and laughter as if the distant echoes of a wonderful party upstairs but it was nearly deserted in reality, we were alone.
I remember being very excited as I got to the top of the stairs, knowing exactly the room I couldn't wait to see and again, touching the brass door nob gave me another jolt of deja vu. And when I opened the door I just started grinning from ear to ear! I felt a sense of such joy and of being at last "home" and much to my surprise and delight I turned around and there, hanging right beside the door was the original famous portrait of M.A in the blue gown holding the rose, painted by her dear friend and royal portrait artist Elizabeth Vigée Lebrun !!!! A few years earlier, I was given a stunning reproduction of this painting as a gift by my father-in-law which is my absolute favourite possession!!! So, seeing the original blew my mind!!! I literally yelped like a school girl and ran up to it and like a brat... although it was roped off....I just had to VERY gently and respectfully touch the corner of the frame!!! I know... I sound crazy but there are just no words which accurately describe the deep connection I feel towards her and that place. It's not logical but it's profound and powerful!!!
I feel so blessed that my husband was just standing back, letting me soak it all in and snapping pictures the whole time so I have many of those moments captured, frozen in time. And at that moment I knew that one day those pictures would be in a film I would make about her!!! And exactly, almost to the date, 9 years later I would shoot that film!!! A dream come true for me!!!!!!!!! I'll post some links if you're interested in seeing some scenes of of my little labour of love and dedication to my favourite Queen!!!
Part Three (finally!)
As we walked along the crushed stone pathway from Le Petit Trianon to her amazing L'Hamou or Hamlet there were some "energy shifts and hot spots" for sure. I felt happy but suddenly my head would begin to spin, I felt faint and the landscape seemed fragmented somehow. Perhaps this could be explained as maybe stepping into a vortex or a place were time may intersect or almost as if you are stepping "out" of time. It was as if the landscape itself froze ever so briefly. It actually made me feel sick to my stomach and that's when I felt something very ominous. I felt as if I was being observed by something or 'someone' not particularly good and my eyes were drawn immediately to the Temple de l'Amour or Temple of Love off in the distance. I think in the film they mention running into a man there. I don't know what the issue was but my husband had asked me if I wanted to go take some pictures of it and I was overwhelmed with a dark sinister feeling and absolutely refused.
For another 20 feet or so I felt very disorientated, my eyes played tricks on me, sudden gusts of wind would come out of no where and the temperature would suddenly drop and I remember feeling disorientated and when the gusts of wind picked up it was as if I heard distant voices, nothing audible but not happy voices that I had heard at Le Petit Trianon, more deep, male voices speaking in unison.... maybe soldiers marching??? I don't know but I didn't like it. And it was around that time that I Iooked towards the lake and past it I thought for an instant that I saw a woman with a white parasol and a pale long dress but it seemed more as if I was looking at a painting....the wind was gone, everything turned starkly and eerily silent. Even the ducks on the lake seemed to just stop for an instant!!! At that point I really felt as if I was going to black out. I closed my eyes, gave my noggin' a good shake and when I opened my eyes again everything was back to normal and the energy felt calm and peaceful again and for the most part the rest of the day was mostly much of the same. When I got back to the hotel that night I sat down and wrote a very touch poem called "Forgotten Queen" which I used at the beginning of my film in the into with the montage of all those photos. I felt as though that day had a huge impact on me. I can't really explain it but it was powerful.
These are not really paranormal experiences in the conventional sense, I have tons of paranormal ghosty, creepy stories from many places in my travels and especially in many homes I've lived in, some are absolutely harrowing!!! But that day was certainly unique and powerful!!! It had a huge impact on my and in many ways changed the path of my life. I've gone on to research not just the revolution and Marie Antoinette but some incredibly fascinating mysteries from the former Occitania in the Languedoc region of Southern France going back to very eventful medieval times!!! The tragic tales of the Gnostic sect referred to as the Cathars, endless legends of the Holy Grail, The Knights Templar, history of the ancient royal bloodlines, La Dame Blanche or White Lady legends, sacred healing sites, The Sacred Feminine, Goddess legends, sacred for forbidden knowledge, Mary Magdalene legends in that region and sooo many more topics including the very mystery which Dan Brown based his bestseller "The DaVinci Code which is, in fact based on true events! Now THERE is where I experienced some crazy paranormal, creepy issues on my research trips!!! But it was all thanks to my research into M.A. and the revolution and that first mind blowing day at Versailles!! I've got such a connection to that whole country, I feel it in my bones!! And also by producing my film that opened up doors and channels to all sorts of interesting things I never would have found if I hadn't had a huge passion for Versailles and M.A. And via some crazy connections I was guided further south to Languedoc and further back in time to the medieval times and beyond!! I've done countless videos and blogs on my experiences there!!
Incase anyone would like to see the official trailer a few snippets of scenes from my film "Let Them Eat" about the last hours of Marie Antoinette's life and a present day woman who feels and incredible connection to her....based on true events and of course inspired by my trips to Versailles.
Here is the original trailer and and another video of selected scenes. In both of them you can see many of the photos I described from my first trip. This is crazy long!! I can't believe I had to break it down into 3 parts!!! Sorry about that!! Us writers love to write!! lol
The official trailer with a portion of the recorded version of the poem I wrote the day I visited Versailles for the first time, "Forgotten Queen" from the intro of the film.

THE END!!!!
I saw this movie a few years ago.
Interesting subject matter!
Fine acting, and very intriguing.
Thank you for the upload, much appreciated.
As for the disappearance of manners! I believe, as with everything. If the parents teach their children manners it will be past on. Anyway, it worked for me.

Great true story and well cast and acted 👏🏼
Just as I loved this piece I saw it when on T.V.20 odd years ago I still do.I also. recommend the movie "Portrait of Jenny (1948)with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton.
And the then 18-year-old Anne Francis at the very end looking at the portait of Jenny in the art gallery. "Forbidden Planet" 1956 fame.
Kudos keep up the good work awesome film!

Tank you so much for your suggestion of "Portrait of Jennie". I just finished watching it here on YT. I loved it!
Wonderful story. Thank god fr women like them
Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
The first thing that struck me is the polite manners, at least on the surface, these people practiced. I wonder if there will ever be manners again.
Ahh, manners! A long forgotten art, I fear!
I am afraid not.
There will always be manners from those who are taught how, and choose to exercise them. There is nothing more galling than bad manners, poor taste, impolite communication, arrogance and lack of courtesy combined with disrespect.
I think that the beauty of it lies in the fact that they believed in the virtue they showed, as it is stated at the end. It is a choice. Greetings.
I hope that I might give you the reassurance that there indeed are people who do practice manners and taught their children whom taught their children. My parents were brought up in the Victorian Era, my Gran was born in the same year Queen Victoria died, 1901. I think the difference is the informality not necessarily the manners, whether that be a good thing or a bad, would just be an opinion. I think the former, as informality can lead to a closer bond and more laughter in the relationship.
Cheers! (if you would forgive the vulgarity!). Have a great weekend.
interresting movie, now I will read the book An Adventure... thanks for uploading !
I've always been haunted by this interesting low budget BBC film.
Great atmosphere, dramatic tension, and fine acting!
Thanks for uploading.
Anglia Television, not BBC.
Although I'm pretty sure the BBC at the time were scratching their heads, asking themselves, "How come we didn't get ahold of this?"

The great Wendy Hiller. She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her magnificent performance as the hotel keeper Pat Cooper in SEPARATE TABLES. A lonely spinster in love with Burt Lancaster but destined to lose him to his ex-wife, a glamour queen gone somewhat to seed played exquisitely by Rita Hayworth.
I think "fine acting" is gone for movies. Special effects has killed the need for fine actors. Unless of course, you attend a stage show. True actors that have a true love for the art.
Thank you so much for this video.😊
Marvellous to find this. Thank you so much for posting it.
An extremely well done production that is very compelling.The photography, character development, and dialogue are excellent of course. Thanks. I have watched it several times. A sleeper.
Coincidence this movie popped up for me. Infact lots of coincidences. I was only thinking about my walk to the Petit Trianon and the gardens and sheep quaint village behind that Antoinette built as a folly. It came to my mind after a recent trip to the Cotswolds. But I will get back to that in a minute. I recently stayed nearBelas Knap in Winchcombe, our self catering holiday cottage overlooked the high hillside of the Neolithic barrow I had not gone there to visit the tomb , that was an after thought at the end of the week, I had not researched or knew anything. On the first night in the cottage (and by the way I knew nothing of the knapp tomb) not even where it was situated in relation to our cottage. On our first night the wind began to blow outside the cottage I recall saying to my husband, look at the wind , how strange it blows through the trees it reminds me of the time we visited Versailles and we walked the wide paths to the Trianon. The wind had that same supernatural way of blowing. Which brings me back to Versailles. Yes on walking to the Trianon I recall a really supernatural feel to the way the wind blew through the trees. It’s- almost as if the ghosts of past know you are there visiting maybe there is a portal there. Anyway back to Winchcombe on the second to last day we put on our walking boots drove to the knapp car park which was extremely muddy and walked up through the woods to the large field to walk up again and then onwards through the hawthorn tree pathway to the tomb. It felt spooky but either way we got to the tomb. Researching I read that recently a woman had walked up to the knap and experienced a time slip where she witnessed a group of monks pass by her, as she moved to the side to allow them to pass. It wasn’t until a few; days later she retraced her steps as she realised the monks seemed unworldly. Infact she said when she saw the monk the grass was long and there had been more trees when retracing the grass was short and less trees . I want to say that I am sure there must be areas on our planet where time slips are prevalent
Lastly, I just so happened to listen to the podcast on you tube called spirit box on witchcraft and the French girl mentioned an experience she had , but she specifically mentions the wind in her story how she said you know, the way that wind blows in a certain way is supernatural in some places. She had her own supernatural experience but yes Versailles in the gardens down near the Trianon is unworldly , put it this way , if someone said to me , would you like to spend the night in the gardens at the back of the Trianon I would say absolutely categorically “no way” the same goes for Belas knap
I remember watching this back in the '80s....thanks so much for the upload!

A beautiful movie
I love this movie. Thank you.
This story , was a factual experience... I had to look it up as I had just finished reading about this "Adventure" in a Book by Andrew Mackenzie…. Published on behalf of the 'Society for Psychical Research'...In the book is the much more in depth account of these two women … There are a number of other accounts of similar true stories ,for those , like me, who find this kind of thing , fascinating ...
"This was an isolated experience, which we recorded as carefuly as we could."
What is the name of the book?
Comparing this drama to the real case it's pretty different. The actual two women took a lot longer to write down their memories of the day. It took them nearly 10 years to publish an account. Both women claimed many paranormal experiences before and after their adventure. Moberly claimed to have seen in the Louvre in 1914 an apparition of the Roman emperor Constantine....both women lived long after the end of the Victorian period, into the 1920s and 30s. Also it's unlikely they were aware of the possibility of an unofficial costume party happening at the time. Time slips are allegedly different to alleged ghost sightings, in the time slip the person or people involved find themselves in another time, they are visible to other people and can walk around and talk to them, but it's never clear how much of the world extends out, usually it belongs to a particular area in the claims, a village, a garden or a hotel. I've only come across two other accounts, one where a couple drove through a village, they went back the next day but claimed the village was totally different. Another one involved two couples who stayed at a French hotel, they thought everything seemed very old fashioned there, when they tried to find it again they couldn't, also when they got home they claimed the photos they took at the hotel were missing, as if they'd never been taken. What they couldn't explain though was how they were able to use modern money in the hotel, why nobody thought their car and clothes were strange if they really had gone back in time. I remember one other case also of an old woman claiming she'd gone down a door in a bookshop and there was a 1940s style cafe on the lower level with people inside dancing to old music. When she'd returned the next day though the door down to the lower floor was boarded up and clearly hadn't been used for years. I'm pretty sceptical of all this myself, I think people mostly just got confused. Usually now it would be pretty hard to convince anyone, firstly there's so much modernity around us now, planes flying over the sky, the sound of traffic everywhere, tourists all over the place that it would be pretty difficult to wonder off, get lost and not be aware that it's no longer 2021. Also pretty much everyone has a phone with a camera in their pocket so it would be pretty easy to get proof now of what you claim you'd seen where as before the mid 2000s pretty much nobody went out the door every day with a device that could take a picture. What most of the claims have in common is that the people involved are somewhere they've not been before, so it's pretty likely they end up a bit lost and confused about what they've seen.
@@theladyangelaIIIpodcastchannel An adventure I have the original it belonged to my great grandmother published in 1911.
@@leew1598 Interesting, but there's a strange supposition that people are very easily confused, when that it not at all the case. When visiting a new place, people take even more care to note their surroundings. Sightings and other paranormal experiences are often dismissed, but none of the 'scientific' pseudo-explanations are ever valid enough to dismiss the experiences altogether.
Various forms of mental illness, pr spontaneous 'confusion' in an otherwise healthy people; 'sunlight and or shadow' being mistaken for solid objects; etc. have often proven to be false and insubstantial 'counterarguments', even though proof of paranormal experience is difficult to demonstrate. How does one prove that they feel that they are in love? Or prove that one saw a fish? Even with cameras at the ready, one is still not guaranteed to capture indisputable photographic evidence.
It all comes down to whether one chooses to believe an account, or not, at the end of the day.
While the claim of time travel is curious (I think it's all explained by the vignettes that were taking place at the time), the subtext of this film is really the star. It's all about social dynamics, and the power struggle amongst women when they had so little. Furthermore, what these two women accomplished in their lives for real is really impressive, given the times. (Incidentally, the character played by the younger woman actually died at 61 from a heart attack, unrelated to the events in this film. No mystery, as somewhat implied by the film. This truly was a fictionalized account. Even the names were changed.)
The names of the two women in the film are the fictional names the real women employed when they published their book. This was an ingenious and liberating creative choice which gave the filmmakers license to develop the relationship between the lead characters while remaining true to the basic historical facts. A fine achievement, with two great performances at the center.
I love Wendy Hiller so much - and her co-star here holds her own beautifully. Thank you!!!
Other fans of hers should look for All Passion Spent.
rukeyser all passion spent
Gees. Now I want to know what it said in the original comment. LOL!
rukeyser I agree : Wendy Hiller is one of the icons of British acting and All Passions Spent one of her best. Is it available?
Agreed. All Passions Spent was a beautiful, sensitive film. All concerned in it were at the top of their form. Cheers.
I knew Dame Wendy Hiller, she was a gracious lady and special friend, who would be delighted by your review.
What a wonderful actress Hannah Gordon was .Perfect in every way and oh so refined In her own private life too
I agree 100% - Did you see her "The Day After the Fair?" It was wonderful - it was taken from Thomas Hardy ' On the Western Circuit. Very good story.
I love Hannah Gordon.
Why are you using the past tense. Hannah Gordon is still alive...
@@Raven4508 I was referring to her acting , as I believe she may have retired by now .
I did go on to say how she perfect and refined she was in her private life that was not past tense
@@lindajones7219 How the heck can you possibly claim that Ms Gordon is "Perfect in every way and oh so refined In her own private life too"? From what she has said about it, her early life was tragic but it's silly to project your fantasies onto people you can't possibly know intimately.
Excellent!
Thank you very much for sharing :)
Story based on real events, extraordinary interesting. Yes, understood it must have been very difficult at that time as a woman's college and psychical happening, with unwanted attention. My sympathy for very courageous women.Thanks for the movies. Excellent.
Thank you for the movie 😊💯🌷
Two very bright and very stubborn ladies (and rightly so)....both well ahead of their time on many levels. Interesting story....and a watershed and historical event in documenting the credibility of their paranormal experiences.
Anything with Wendy Hiller! Thanks for uploading!
I did not approach this film as if it were a ghost story. I frankly don't enjoy ghost stories. I enjoy stories of people in all times and places and their interactions with one another. And the film made perfect sense to me. Do questions remain for my pondering? Of course. A life without questions is a very dishonest life.
Wendy Hillers best line ever " My husband never ate anyone!" - Anne of Avonlea
Kitty Kat She was such a joy in 'Anne'!
Well....that is surely a line to remember!!! LOL Guess I'll have to watch this little show after all!!! ;-)
🌷A very sensitive portrayal of women struggling to find their position in a world that condemned them without education to a demeaning status as lesser intellectual beings.
A proud battle.
Beyond that, I think that they had already found a place of "honor" and admiration; yet, they had to face the superficiality of appearances that demanded that they give up their integrity to keep the achieved position.
Interesting and enjoyable movie.
Excelente !!! Muchas gracias 💕💕💕💕💕
I truly enjoyed this movie.
Fascinating... Who is to say we aren't in a time slip now? Is now, now? It already has past...
WOW, Wendy Hiller! I am glad for any movie she is in
Nancy Allen I was about to post the same thing! I saw the thumbnail and came straight to it. She’s special.
Always enjoy British TV and movies
REALLY GOOD DRAMA AND WORTH WATCHING THANKS
With Nial Toibín and Bosco Hogan
2 fine Irish actors, that everyone below, seemed to have forgotten.
😭
Fascinating 😊
The magnificent Wendy Hiller. I wonder how many of you know she was the original Eliza Doolittle in the British film Pygmalion starring with Leslie Howard.
G-onnnn, yes that's her the squashed cabbage leaf, legendary
Yes
She was the best Eliza of them all!!
Unsung but not forgotten, she was a gem. I think she was the best British actress of her generation. To me her natural look, intelligence and down to earth plain spoken iconoclastic style made her very sexy.
Yes, many of us know this.
COVERING UP STILL GOES ON IN THIS DAY AND AGE ....THESE WOMAN WERE VERY TRUE AND BRAVE
Just Marvelous!!!
Always love to the way that old lady talked
Will probably subscribe once you get more content.
Love the movie
Thank you so much for sharing it
God bless
This film can be appreciated from several different aspects. The obvious, real or imagined time slip, the internal politics of academia or the struggles of women to be accepted in higher education. The acting is excellent , though the sound leaves a bit to be desired.
"This is not a matter of truthfulness, but of strategy." / "How dare they question our integrity?"

I have heard about this story but I never saw the actual movie. Made me laugh & what a kicker ending!
When she is trying to transcribe the music she hears she is placing SHARPS on the MSS but their pattern is that of FLATS - B,E,A,D&G FLAT (3rd line, 4th space, 2nd space, 4th line & 2nd line, whereas, IF it were SHARPS - F,C,G,D&A SHARPS IT WOULD BE: 5th line, 3rd space, above 5th line, 4th line & 2nd space.
How interesting!
I dislike when the producers don't take care with these details.
I used to do theatrical props and I'd make sure that the newspaper was a copy of the actual paper, even if it had to come from the US. Or any used document had to be as well the proper thing, even if hardly visible as I thought the audience deserved to be treated with respect.
Thank you very much for pointing this out. 😊
Great film. Great performances.
Wendy Hiller - magnificent. Hannah Gordon - stunning performance. A great portrayal of the horrid reality of the times and of the horrible treatment women had to put up with. As far as "An Adventure", science and logic cannot explain everything. I believe these women's experience was totally possible.
The really strange thing is that women put up with the situation for so long. A lot of them still do put up with it! Stranger still, about 100 to 150 years ago most women in the European world were actually opposed to votes for women or any other rights, such as a university education and equal rights on the employment market. Those in favour were only a very small minority. Even now, a lot of women - generally those who aren't very bright, of course - are still opposed to equal treatment and equal rights for women. However, please note: I am in favour of _equal_ treatment for _all_ human beings. I am NOT in favour of any form of "positive discrimination". That term alone gives me the willies!
There have been several documented experiences had by credible people within the last twenty years more or less..I don't have the documents to prove all of this However the most recent experiences are documented in the book I mentioned in a prior message.... Riveting accounts..
I think that this testimony should help us understand how hard and painful it may be for someone to have their experiences denied. For the younger one it was a matter of truth and identity, not of an experience. Great farewell sermon.
What "horrible treatment" did "women have to put up with"?
Women in the Christian lands had tremendous opportunity when they wanted it.
I think men who had to fight and die in the approaching two world wars had rather more to put up with.
Your definition of " credible " must
be different from the generally
accepted one. ?
Thank you very enjoyable 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
This is quite a well known and famous account of a time slip/ ghost sighting , that most lovers of the ghost story will have encountered often in anthologies...I had not however , ever heard or read about there being such a controversy surrounding the ladies . This was a very sad and realistic .. although enjoyable , ..tale of the struggles of the times .
The real case did not cause anything like the scandal in this dramatisation. The true identities of the authors of An Adventure did not come out until 20 years after the first publication of the account. It was a bit of a sensation when it first appeared but most people dismissed it. The real women Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain were not dismissed from St Hugh's College. They both had very stable careers. Proust mentions the fancy dress parties held at the Petit Trianon and that is probably what they saw. Added to that they were both prone to seeing odd things. Moberly claimed she saw a Roman Emperor in the Louvre.
I had heard the story of the sighting, but not the info on the ladies. An amazing encounter
Pygiana your explanation is the most plausible to me . I used to believe all those stories many years ago until I found out all the frauds in those stories .
It's a book called an adventure, you can still buy it I have the original it belonged to my great grandmother
I remember seeing it on norwegian television in ca 1983. It made strong impression on me then ...
hello....great wee film....thank you xxx
Such a beautifully spoken English!
Now, people keep saying: " I was like, she was like and he was like, I mean..."
and the rest of English spoken by the young people, I rather don't mention!
Everything is "sick", meaning very good. 🙁
This is quite fictionalized, but the Versailles experience is pretty accurate to the real story. Read about the Moberly-Jourdain Incident.
I think they made an excellent choice in giving the lead characters in the film the pseudonyms of the real women. It freed the writer to create a really compelling and complex (fictional) relationship between the protagonists, and gave two terrific actors roles they could really sink their teeth into. Lamont's final address to her supporters sums up the pent-up anger and frustration of countless generations of talented women stymied by male prejudice and ridicule, and Hannah Gordon delivers it to perfection.
@@treesny Very well-said!
I loved it, thanks
Excellent actresses of the top rank
YES ABSOLUTE TOP RANK

What, where and when was the village incident?
Ah! The great Vivian Pickles. Does anyone remember her as Harold's mother in Harold and Maude?
HAROLD and MAUDE. What an absolute classic.
And did you know that it, too is based on "real events"???
It was from a Thesis paper that I (think) was written by
{Colin Higgins}, for his Master's Degree at UCLA.
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
Vivien Pickles sure was brilliant in her role.
Sunshine D'ore'
Love Vivian Pickles
I remember watching it while in high school.
thankyou so very much truely kind of you
Paul Watson you are very welcome
Very nicely done.
The actress playing the younger woman was the second Mrs Bellamy (Virginia) in Upstairs Downstairs.
A great movie about a great story! :)
I love this actress Hannah Gordon who is wonderful in previous story by Thomas Hardy, "The Day After the Fair"

This is a wonderful time slip, I can't help to think of Outlander.
A section of the story is told in John Canning's 50 Great Ghost Stories, under the title of The ghosts of versailles
I own this treasured tome as well! The story has fascinated me since my childhood in the 1970's.
I have this book..The fact that this book illustrates that strange things continue to this day..Is what fascinates me..
