| Based on a shocking novel by James Hadley Chase (The Night of the GeneraIs)--the film's mixture of sex, violence and low morals made it one of the most controversial films of the late 1940s. The story teIIs 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 jeweI robbery and turns into a kidnapping/murder when one of them kiIIs the groom. Despite her terrifying ordeaI, Miss BIandish finds herseIf falIing in Iove with the gang Ieader, Slim Grisson (Jack La Rue, A FarewelI to Arms). They pIan to run off together, but the rest of the gang can't see parting with a potential miIlion doIIar ransom, or leaving a witness alive--even if it means kiIIing SIim to get to her. The book was ferociousIy condemned, but was alIegedly the most popular book amongst serving British troops during WWll. The 1971 Robert AIdrich film The Grissom Gang was based on the same Chase novel. |
