Diana Dors Top Ten

 1. Yield to the Night (1956) - easy. Her masterpiece.

2. Weak and the Wicked (1954) - extremely good prison film. A breakthrough for Dors.

3. A Vote for Hugget (1948) - Dors popped from the beginning, but this one she really shone. Hilarious comic work.

4. Is Your Honeymoon Really Necessary (1953) - one of a series of low budget films where Dors gave brilliantly funny comic performances.

5. A Kid for Two Farthings (1955) -charming fable which has stayed with me longer than I thought it would. Dors is perfect.

6. Baby Love (1968) - kicks off Dors' blousy period that brought her great acclaim. Very effective in a small role.

7. The Long Haul (1957) - Dors is touching and good as ever playing a woman in love with trucker Victor Mature.

8. From Beyond the Grave (1974) - Dors hilarious in an all star anthology film.

9. Love Specialist (1958) - little remembered but she never looked better on screen.

10. On the Double (1961) - picked this one because she's go great and it makes you scratch your head why her second stint in Hollywood didn't yield better results.
