Dance with a Stranger

REVIEW
This critically acclaimed tale of passion and mystery follows the path of the romantic self-destruction of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in Great Britain. This gripping examination of a murderous romance stars Richardson (in a sensational film debut) as a dance hall girl who murders her abusive lover. As the selfish murdered boyfriend, Everett gives a convincing and sensual performance of an emotionally shallow upper-class beauty whose slumming leads to his demise. Holm is outstanding in support as another of Ellis' men.
