In the 1971 film The Nightcomers, which actor played the character Peter Quint?

In the 1971 film The Nightcomers, Marlon Brando played Peter Quint.

The Nightcomers is a British psychological horror film directed by Michael Winner and based on a prequel idea related to Henry James’s 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw. Brando plays Peter Quint, the valet whose behavior influences the children and household before the events suggested by James’s story.

The film’s alternative title, The Nightcomers, distinguishes it from later adaptations that use The Turn of the Screw directly. Its narrative examines the Bly estate, the governess Miss Jessel, and the children Miles and Flora. The setting and characters connect it with the tradition of ambiguous supernatural fiction surrounding the house.

The Pandora connection is through the film’s release under the alternate title The Nightcomers and the broader theme of hidden corruption being brought into the open. It should not be confused with the unrelated 2008 Turkish film Pandora’s Box or with films literally titled Pandora and Pandora and the Flying Dutchman.
