Turn the Key Softly (1953 Jack Lee)

Novel John Brophy, Scr. Lee & Maurice Cowman.

Yvonne Mitchell again (cf. Woman in a Dressing Gown) in a completely different part, Kathleen Harrison (granny), Joan Collins, Terence Morgan.

Ph. Geoffrey Unsworth, particularly good in night scenes.

Three women simultaneously released from Holloway prison, atmospherically told. Nice touches e.g. baby dropping cushion, daughter dropping flowers. When Morgan forces her into crime we were FURIOUS! Gripping rooftop finale.
