(NOIR) Yield to the Night - 1956 ****

'Yield to the Night' in my opinion is highly superior to 'I Want to Live' with Susan Hayward. Both are based on the same sort of thing, although the similarity between this story and Ruth Ellis's case of a couple of years later is pretty disturbing. The only difference seems to be that Dors' character kills a woman instead of a lover but the emotions, and Dors' pent-up jealousy explode in the same way. Excellent performance from her actually, much more gripping and exciting compared to her performance in 'Tread Softly, Stranger' which was somewhat wooden in comparison.

Lady Godiva Rides Again AKA Bikini Baby - 1951 **

I thought apart from the exceptional Kay Kendall who is fabulous in everything, that this movie was pretty bad. Diana Dors isn't what I would call a good actress, I mean she is very beautiful but that's where her talents end in my opinion. A small town girl enters a beauty contest and wins. She is swept up in the high life and as a result, begins to neglect her close friend and boyfriend. I must say it toally missed the split second where we see Ruth Ellis, and that may well have been the only good, interesting thing about the movie. (Oh, and Alastair Sim had a small part as well)
