Anthony Aldgate and James Crighton Robertson, Censorship in Theatre and Cinema, Edinburgh University Press, 2005 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] Some of the language was ultimately sanitised for the film market, but that doesn’t detract from this still being a bold and gritty piece of cinematic history. With its references to rape, infanticide, and prostitution, and given the prevailing attitudes of the day, the film was also seen as being highly controversial. It was originally intended to be part of a double bill with Cosh Boy, starring Joan Collinsand another film focussing upon a different contemporary issue – this time that of juvenile delinquency – but eventually Women of Twilightwas to enjoy its own individual release. a b c Nicole Sperling (2009-08-18). " 'Twilight Saga: Eclipse' beings production today". Entertainment Weekly . Retrieved 2009-08-18.Broadly, the cast is divided into three elements. One is the unfortunate mothers. The second is the put-upon staff of the hostel, to an extent divided in their response to the morality of what they are helping to do. The third is the single figure of the proprietor, Helen, a twisted, contemptuous and unhappy woman who takes out her various malaises on her victims. Sally Mortemore seizes her chances in this almost larger than life role with understandable energy.

The latest production at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington sees Women of Twilight return to the stage after a successful run at the White Bear Theatre last season. STUDIOCANAL has announced a brand-new restoration and first ever DVD, Blu-ray and Digital release of the lost 1950s gem: Women of Twilight, on March 27.Sixty years later we still live in an era swamped with heartbreaking reports of failing social services, domestic abuse and child poverty. Single mothers still face social stigma. Many of the most vulnerable still have no alternative but to live in shelters. Sadly, there will always be unscrupulous individuals who seek to exploit the least fortunate for their own means. This is a play with strong social conscience, which resonates as strongly today as it did then.

According to producer Daniel Angel, his original plan had been to couple the film with another 'social problem' picture (again based on a controversial play), Cosh Boy directed by Lewis Gilbert. "Jimmy Woolf had these two stories," he said, "and we made the films with the idea of showing them in cinemas together on the one programme. They turned out better than we'd expected and we showed them separately." [27] Nicole Sperling (2008-12-10). " 'Twilight' sequel: New details on 'New Moon' ". Entertainment Weekly. Time Inc.

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.When 28-year-old Sylvia Rayman's drama premiered in 1951 it was dismissed by some critics as "hysterical" – prompted no doubt by prejudice against a female writer and an all-female cast.
