Kerr is one of my favourite actresses but she did ham it up from time to time. Here, I don't think she was hammy at all - her acting was appropriate for the character - a wonderful performance. One only needs to look as far as Separate Tables to see her mugging to insufferable effect.

There is a great difference between over acting and bravura acting.
Over acting is acting done badly; bravura acting is acting with larger than life style.
Every new generation of movie fans accuses the previous generation of "ham," without taking into account that styles are constantly changing and that much of the acting of today will look dated by the next generation to come.
Enjoy each for what it is, a product of its time. After all, modern screen acting evolved from those "over acting hams" of the past. We wouldn't have Daniel Day Lewis and Russell Crowe today if we did not have Brando and Dean yesterday.

It's something that stays with you for a long time. I assume that was the intent.
The Turning Of The Screw.
You wonder if this was all in her imagination, or if there was something supernatural going on!
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
