Corinth House is a 1961 Australian TV movie based on the play by Pamela Hansford Johnson and directed by Bill Bain. It was sold overseas.
It was the ABC's first live drama of 1961.
Set in a private hotel in London. One of its residents is Miss Malleson, a retired headmistress living out the rest of her days. She is visited by an ex pupil, Madge Donnythrope, who sixteen years earlier Miss Malleson disciplined publicly. Madge is determined to get revenge on the headmistress by convincing others she is insane.
The Australian Woman's Weekly called it "excellent".
The Sydney Morning Herald said "The outstanding and positive thing about this play is its utter suitability to the medium of television" starring "two actresses of exceptional power."
