Men just out of jail ,it is derivative ; three women on the day of their release ,getting their first taste of freedom , it's not told everyday .
And these ladies are as different as they can be : there's the sexy girl (Joan Collins in a tailor-made part ) who just before she's out of jail wants to be attractive : her metamorphosis from the jail uniform to her new dress,complete with make up and lipstick is stunning and predates her future roles .There's the dignified lady ,who paid for her lover's dirty deeds (Yvonne Mitchell) .And there's the one who must be every viewer's favorite, the wonderful Kathleen Harrison as the shoplifter granny who wins the audience over every time she turns up.
They go their separate ways ,but they meet at the de luxe restaurant where their elder is spellbound : it's the most beautiful day of her life;it's all the more poignant when one knows what lies in store for her .
Yvonne Michell's character is rather naive but a lady in love is sometimes rash; her struggle to stay on the straight and narrow is moving though ;it's not sure that Collins' foxy lady will put up with a routine life with her fiancé ,a bus driver .
All happens in the short space of one day ,and in spite of certain implausibilities -the dog roaming near the theater-,it's a little gem.
