Trivia
Often linked to the Ruth Ellis case, the novel and script were written two years before her trial and hanging, according to director J. Lee Thompson's biography. The resemblance was said to be coincidental.

Errores
When Mary Hilton carries out the murder, she fires seven shots from a six shot revolver. There are cuts between a few different camera angles, but this all takes place as her victim slowly falls to the ground. There is no time to reload.

Citas
Hill: Hilton, I've been a prison officer for 25 years and believe me I'm right when I tell you that if you accept your punishment, don't fight it, you'll find it far easier to bear.

A performance of excellence

I just watched this film again after some years and felt very sad and upset at the fate of Mary Hilton. Diana Dors gave a performance of true excellence and power. The setting within the prison cell with the female wardens as supporting players is stark and yet sympathetic . Diana gave a compelling performance and so well were in supported by the rest of the cast especially Yvonne Mitchell and Olga Lindo. I was so very impressed by the entire film. It was a shame that Dors was ignored by the Academy but I suppose in the 50s non-American actresses were not considered as the films were mainly "art house" films. Enjoyed the whole experience.
