A stellar cast features in this powerful, sympathetic drama tracing the contrasting lives and often faltering progress of the inmates of a women’s prison.
Based on the best-selling semi-autobiographical novel by Joan Henry – a writer and former debutante who would further draw upon her own prison experience for the novel and classic film Yield to the Night – The Weak and the Wicked is directed by Henry’s future husband, Oscar-nominated J. Lee Thompson. The film is featured here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Jean Raymond, an upper-class woman who has become addicted to gambling, is given a twelve-month prison sentence resulting from her inability to pay her debts. At first she is overwhelmingly depressed by life in the women’s prison; gradually, however, her misery is relieved by the many close friends she makes there.
