So successful indeed that an English version of it was made with the famous Corinne Luchaire in her original part. During the making of this film she appeared in 'Picture Page'. Nova Pilbeam, who will take Corinne Luchaire's part, makes her first television appearance. Prison Without Bars tells the story of a girls' reformatory and what happens when a new superintendent comes to change the harshness of the old regime. Jill Esmond is playing this part, and Sebastian Shaw that of the young doctor with whom Nova Pilbeam, as one of the reformatory's occupantats, falls in love.
