Dance with a Stranger (1985)
Country: GB
Technical: col 101m
Director: Mike Newell
Cast: Miranda Richardson, Rupert Everett, Ian Holm
Synopsis:
The story of the love between Ruth Ellis and David Blakely, an affair which ended with him dead and her the last woman to be hanged in Britain.
Review:
A film which few are likely to approach without some awareness of its outcome, and there lies one of the problems with it. Watching a character self-destruct in this way has few redeeming features, and one is left with a solid piece of work and an admirable central performance.
