Quint, an amoral seducer of women and children, has a vaguely sexual psychic hold over Miles. Cotton is powerful as this corrupt character not only because of his impressive voice, but in the way he portrays Quint's chllings unremorseful villainy. The governess battles against him, fighting to save the children from his voice-like hold...
