Set in the 1950s, we enter the shady world of the London night club scene, accompanied by a live jazz band and singer. We watch the tragic story of Ruth Ellis, and those who knew her, unfold.
Was she, at twenty-eight years old, an unfeeling, brassy blonde murderer or a victim of her time?
This is a moody, film noir drama directed by Val Robinson and Pat McLoughlin, who brought you the sell-out "Calendar Girls" in 2013 (Photographs by Robert Nicklin).
