The Weak and the Wicked 70 years old

Women...Barred From Men!

The Weak and the Wicked

Jean Raymond (Glynis Johns) an upper class woman with a gambling addiction, 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. This sympathetic drama traces the contrasting lives and often faltering progress of the inmates of a women's prison.
