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.
I admit I started watching SUITS out of curiosity when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got engaged, thought I should see how Meghan was. I am now totally engrossed in the series, watching several episodes daily whenever I had the time. Meghan is very good but Gabriel Macht is excellent and Gina Torres is a stunning looking woman and a cool actress. Well written with very clever dialogue. Great !
I am so glad I spent time watching this film, a quietly heartwarming film about Father and Son bonding over a short weekend. Both Clive and Jaeden are wonderful in this film, subtle and meaningful especially Jaeden who can put so much in just one glance. Wonderful film, I recommend all Fathers to see this with their young sons.
