    Robert Wise, an unsurpassable director, has skilfully crafted a true story into a masterpiece. Susan Hayward is incomparable as Barbara Graham, a convicted murderess, who claims innocence, and Simon Oakland, of West Side Story fame, also directed by Robert Wise, is the reporter who tries to defend her innocence. This fine ensemble cast, along with skillful directing and storytelling, make this movie one that should not be missed. It is a fine addition to any movie collection.
