Friday, February 17 - Women Without Men

Women Without Men (1956)

The story opens with Angie, the Beverly Michaels character in jail explaining via narration and a flashback how she arrived there. She is serving seven months for an assault on her agent who tried to rape her. She has a date to meet her fiancé at a hotel on New Years Eve but will be in jail. Life in the prison and the various characters take up most of the show until Angie gets to put on a Xmas entertainment for the other inmates. She teams up with the ever reliable Thora Hird to break out. She gets to the rendezvous hotel and finds it out of business, but will the fiancé turn up?

I don't  know, on account I fell asleep.

(For U.S. release the film was retitled Blonde Bait and substantially re-edited, with new scenes filmed by the American distributors)
