aka Young and Willing. A well to do woman, Jean Raymond (Glynis Johns) is sent to prison for fraud. Once inside the various inmates, including Betty Brown (Diana Dors), relate their tales of hardship and misery. How will she take to the repressive Victorian prison, or the open prison to which she is sent to see out her sentence?
What was a true life critique of prison life, in the book, is made into a lighter and at times comedic film, with cameo's such as Sid James as an inveterate shop-lifter. An opportunity missed, but it still makes for an entertaining 90 minutes.
