Turn the Key Softly is a 1953 British drama film directed by Jack Lee and starring Yvonne Mitchell, Joan Collins, Kathleen Harrison, and Terence Morgan. Lee and producer Maurice Cowan wrote the screenplay, based on the 1951 novel of the same title by John Brophy, dealing with the first 24 hours of freedom for three women released on probation from prison on the same morning. It was shot at Pinewood Studios and on location around London. The film's sets were designed by the art director Donald M. Ashton. It was released by Rank's General Film Distributors.
Production
The film was based on a novel published in 1952. The censor, Arthur Watkyn, a playwright, made some suggestions for cuts to enable the film to be passed. Reportedly, Kathleen Harrison had to spend two hours in the make up chair every morning.
This was Joan Collins's first film under a new contract she had signed with Rank. Terence Morgan was also under contract to Rank.
