Although she wasn't my favorite performance of 1958, Ms. Hayward is welcome to her Oscar for this authentic (for then) brutal story of a woman going to the gas chamber in those liberal 50's. Always a great actress, she finally took home gold playing a not-always likable party girl who gets mixed up on the road to perdition.
A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Susan Hayward. Simon Oakland always adds a touch of authentic flavoring American sweating style. Good cinematography and for a 50's flick, fairly realistic in the right ways and the ending is incredible. Well worth anyone's time who might be concerned with the American system of Justice even 50 years ago. Check it out!
