Ann: The minute I'm finished I'm going straight up to Matron.
Mary: No - don't.
Ann: Lucy deliberately got me into trouble.
Mary: I know, but squealing on someone is the worst thing you can do in a place like this - it's a sort of unofficial rule. If you do, everybody will be against you.
Ann: Everybody is already. Except you.
Mary: But it will make things worse for you, Ann. Believe me - I know.
Ann: She can't keep getting away with it.
Mary: Anything else you might do - anything - any of the girls would forgive you. But narking, telling on someone - none of the girls would ever forgive you for that, even if it wasn't them you narked on.

Sort of like a women in prison film written by a charm school graduate!

Before I talk about the movie, there is a bit of confusion that Americans might feel when they see this film about a women's reform school. Apparently, the person running the prison is called the 'matron' and the women working under her are called 'wardens'. In the States, it's the other way around...there is only one warden and that's the boss of the prison.

The story is about Ann Turner (Jill Ireland), a nice young girl who is sent to prison for a crime she didn't commit. Her adjustment to the prison life is tough at first, as the lady who lied and got her sent to prison is there! Fortunately, the nice Matron takes a liking for her and gives her a chance. But this chance is jeopardized when one of the wardens pushes one of the ladies to kill herself. Ann refuses to help her or the matron because she feels the riot that resulted from this was justified.

This film is an incredibly mild women in prison sort of picture-- nothing like the American versions such as "Caged". So, while the treatment by the warden is supposed to be harsh, it all seems incredibly lame when compared to the much tougher and more violent American women in prison films. American films have a strong suggestion of lesbianism and sadism...whereas this one looks like a prison film written by a charm school graduate! Not a bad film...but one that is incredibly tame and 'nice'!
