Synopsis
High Contrast Cinema are pleased to bring this powerful British prison drama to the Allendale in November. It features an extraordinary turn by Diana Dors as a woman on Death Row awaiting her date with the noose. Often marketed as Britain's 'blonde bombshell' answer to Marilyn Monroe, the film and its subject matter provided Dors with an opportunity to deliver what many see as her finest performance.
Yield To The Night was released in 1956, and many noted a superficial resemblance to the Ruth Ellis trial (the last woman to be executed in the UK) the previous year, although the book it was based on pre-dated Ellis' controversial case. It remains a powerful indictment of capital punishment that still resonates today. It was widely acclaimed upon release and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.
Yield To The Night is rated 15 and contains psychological horror.
