Some of her victims also have interesting catastrophes to deal with, but for all that, the first act consists of encounters between them and Helen, which Helen inevitably wins. She is the boss. Her victims have nowhere else to hide. The scene throughout is a semi-basement living room in a house near London, a grim and sordid place inhabited for sleeping and eating by a motley group of unmarried young women with babies - already born or about to be hustled into an unfriendly world. The 'proprietress' - a sadistic, unscrupulous woman called Helen Allistair - though a qualified nurse, exploits these unfortunate outcasts from society until one of them - the despairing girl Vivianne, whose gangster lover is hanged and who has nothing to lose - discovers this ghoulish creature's baby-farming activities. Vivianne, whose baby is shortly to be born, faces Mrs Allistair with her accusation, is brutally assaulted and almost loses her life. In the end justice is done, and Mrs Allistair gets her just desserts." [2] Play [ edit ] a b c Nicole Sperling (2009-08-18). " 'Twilight Saga: Eclipse' beings production today".

Monthly Film Bulletin, December 1952: "This sordid story has been dealt with in an unimaginative, self-conscious manner, with the emphasis on the sensational ... The film, which infers that it has performed a social duty in bringing these unpleasant facts before the public, could have done better by dropping the pointless initial Soho nightclub scenes, and introducing a sequence showing what social services there are available for the unmarried mother. But Women of Twilight, the first British film to receive an 'X' certificate from the censor, is perhaps scarcely remarkable for truth to life." [29] Disgrace was only the first of such women’s difficulties. With no husband or father present to pay the bills, they had to find paid employment. Hence they also had to find someone to look after their disgraceful offspring. The people who did this did it purely for money. In general, like society at large, they despised their clients. And, it frequently came to pass; their true clients were not the mothers of the children they sheltered, but other, married women who were infertile, hovering in the wings ready to buy their way out of their difficulty.An adaptation of the 1951 play by Sylvia Rayman that enjoyed an extended run in the West End, this newly restored version of WOMEN OF TWILIGHT comes complete with a host of new special features and is a welcome addition to the ever-expanding Vintage Classics collection.
