(NOIR) Woman's Prison - 1955 **** 1/2


I wasn't expecting much from this noir. It's set in a woman's prison for one thing, and I doubted how good the acting would be from the female stars, especially when one of my least favourite actresses Ida Lupino was playing the psychotic prison warden.
I couldn't have been more wrong. The acting was superb in my opinion, with standout performances from Jan Sterling and Cleo Moore (who is one star I will be looking out for in future movies) and you really become involved in the individual stories of each of the convicted women. Very good.
