Good film about a woman who finally thinks she has met the right man. The best scenes are the scenes in prison (while the woman is awaiting her impending execution). The flashbacks are of course necessary, but less interesting. A bit melodramatic here and there, but that's hard to avoid when it comes to the death penalty. Nice camera work and good acting. A small 3.5 stars.

the plot explanation is very misleading, nowhere does it appear that she has been abused by men all her life, in fact, she enters into a relationship with the man she later becomes so obsessed with, while she herself is still married.
Then that man is unfaithful to her again and commits suicide because he is equally obsessed with the other woman who in turn does not like him.
the man she was married to still comes to visit her in prison, but here you see that she doesn't give a damn about him, it is difficult to sympathize with this woman, but you still get it through the extensive flashbacks in which her supposed rival indeed receives no sympathy treatment.
Dors plays her role very impressively, how she was treated on death row says a lot about the difference in treatment compared to men in a similar situation.
