Featured review
Atmospherically shot by veteran cameraman Geoffrey Unsworth (who later shot '2001'), this melodrama detailing the adventures of three women released from Holloway the same morning probably looks a lot better today than it did when it originally came out, aided by picturesque London location work as it looked in the chilly fifties and the noble features of Yvonne Mitchell in ravishing close-up while led astray by louse Terence Morgan.
