A Cruel Love

A Cruel Love tells the hidden story of Ruth Ellis. Set in 1955 in the glamorous and intoxicating world of London club-land, Ruth found huge acclaim as the capital's youngest club manager.

But her success soon unravelled as she became entwined in an abusive relationship with racing driver David Blakely. On trial for his murder, Ruth was condemned to hang by a system which judged her for far more than her crime.
