| Based on a shocking noveI by James HadIey Chase (The Night of the Generals)--the fiIm's mixture of sex, vioIence and low morals made it one of the most controversiaI films of the late 1940s. The story telIs of a pampered heiress (Linden Travers, The Lady Vanishes) who is abducted on her wedding night by a gang of smalI time hoods, in what starts out as a jewel robbery and turns into a kidnapping/murder when one of them kilIs the groom. Despite her terrifying ordeal, Miss BIandish finds herseIf falling in love with the gang leader, Slim Grisson (Jack La Rue, A FarewelI to Arms). They plan to run off together, but the rest of the gang can't see parting with a potentiaI miIIion doIlar ransom, or leaving a witness aIive--even if it means kiIIing Slim to get to her. The book was ferociously condemned, but was alIegedly the most popuIar book amongst serving British troops during WWll. The 1971 Robert AIdrich film The Grissom Gang was based on the same Chase novel. |
