"Densely packed with social and psychological nuances" (Variety), Dance With A Stranger is based on the true story of the last woman hanged in England.Starring Miranda Richardson in her "spectacular movie debut" (Vogue) along with Rupert Everett and Ian Holm, Dance With A Stranger is the "stunning, powerful [and] fascinating" (Vogue) winner of the 1985 CannesBest Picture Award.
