Featured review
Trivia
It may interest people to know that appearing in the film uncredited as a contestant in a beauty contest is Ruth Ellis.
On July 13th 1955 she became the last woman hanged for murder in Great Britain. In a jealous rage the 28 year old night-club manageress fired six shots at her 24 year old lover David Blakely outside the Magdala Pub in Hampstead, London. Two bullets missed, one piercing the hand of a passer-by; two hit him in the back, one in the thigh and one in the left arm. He died instantly.
When sentenced to death the only thing she said was 'Thanks'.
The female star of the film was Diana Dors. Her greatest ever screen performance was in 'Yeild to the Night' the harrowing story of murderess Mary Price Hilton a character based on Ruth Ellis.
Consultant on the film was executioner Albert Pierrepoint - the man who hanged Ruth Ellis.
