'Man Bait' aka 'The Last Page' (1952) - Terence Fisher.

With a soggy biscuits text, and George Brent being a right fannydoodle, the gifted filmmaker, Terence Fisher does all he can to keep this turgid thriller afloat. Firecracker, Diana Dors dazzles conspicuously, exhibiting palpable star quality in her dully written role. No PowerBumming classic, but, Diana Dors was ALWAYS the real people's princess!
