Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine A rather contrived British drama about three women newly released from prison. But one of them (Yvonne Mitchell) is an actress of uncommon beauty and sensitivity. Her performance, by itself, makes the film worth seeing. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Beautifully shot, postwar British 'noir' about three women enjoying the first day of freedom after leaving Holloway Prison. Kathleen Harrison, Yvonne Mitchell and a young, sparky Joan Collins are all terrific. There's a great chase scene, and the ending packs an emotional punch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member nice slice of british cinema. joan collins looks terriffic and kathleen harrison is great.well worth a watch.
