Yield To The Night (1956) -- (Movie Clip) Opening Intense and crafty opening from director J. Lee Thompson, from the novel by ex-convict Joan Henry and her screenplay with John Cresswell, no dialogue as Diana Dors traverses London, stalking the apparently well-heeled Mercia Shaw, opening Yield To The Night, a.k.a. Blonde Sinner, 1956.

Yield To The Night (1956) -- (Movie Clip) The Cherry Hung With Snow British bombshell Diana Dors, in what would be the most praised performance of her career, as convicted murderess Mary, with a whispered reading of A.E. Housman’s famous A Shropshire Lad, recalling her first encounters with Jim (Michael Craig), J. Lee Thompson directing, in Yield To The Night, 1956.

Yield To The Night (1956) -- (Movie Clip) When You Face A Firing Squad We’ve seen Diana Dors as Mary commit murder, then be informed that she will soon be executed, and her custody taken over by guards Olga Lindo and Yvonne Mitchell as MacFarlane, who shows an evolved compassion, in director J. Lee Thompson’s British-made Yield To The Night, 1956.
