Dance With A Stranger is a moving insight into a tragic 'Crime of Passion' that changed the conscience of a nation. It is the story of one woman and two lovers - each driven by the all-powerful forces of sexuality. Ruth Ellis (Miranda Richardson), a glamourous nightclub hostess and mother of two children, embarks on a tempestuous affair with a handsome racing driver David Blakely, played by Rupert Everett.

This is a film that does more than chronicle a series of events; it captures perfectly the mood of a post-war nation.

When the psychotically ambitious Sister Julia (Anna Heywood) vies to take the place of a dying Mother Superior by any means possible, other inmates start to lose their way, indulging in heterosexual flings and lesbian coupling. But things take a nasty turn when the nuns are subjected to a violent inquisition and their existence becomes one of torture and degradation.Made just two years after Ken Russell's notorious The Devils (1971), this 1973 film sought to offer a corruption of the innocent style plot which monopolised on the short-lived wave of nunsploitation features, incorporating graphic horrors, soft-pornography and historical drama. Loosely based on authentic records, this sordid tale of religion and power will delight lovers of extreme Italian exploitation cinema.
