    • Trivia
      In order to do research for her book, former L.A. Times reporter and screenwriter (under contract at Warner's) Virginia Kellogg pulled some strings to get herself incarcerated in a woman's prison. She then wrote a book about it, "Women without Men", which was kind of an almanac of everything she witnessed while in prison. Warner Bros. then had her write the screenplay, which was nominated for an Oscar.

    Grandmother of womens prisons movies
    This movie is magnificent and, being one of the first of the genre, was done perfectly. The casting is great - Parker and Emerson deserved their nominations, and Lee Patrick, Agnes Moorehead and others make indelible impressions. Parker's flick of a cigarette at the end was sublime.
