Product Description
Comedy that launches a thinly-veiled attack on beauty contests of the time. After numerous attempts at winning beauty contests, star struck waitress Marjorie (Pauline Stroud), makes the finals of a 'Lady Godiva' contest, unaware that the result has been rigged. Having one first prize, Marjorie lands a movie contract, and it seems her future is guaranteed. But the glitz soon fades as she finds she doesn't have the talent to last in the cut-throat film business, reduced to performing nude in French reviews. Luckily, her boyfriend Larry (John McCallum) arrives in the nick of time to whisk her off to a life of domestic bliss.

A novelty film worth a watch.
Lady Godiva Rides Again is a 1951 film starring Diana Dors, about a small-town English girl who wins a beauty contest and heads for greater fame.
It features Joan Collins in her movie debut as an uncredited beauty pageant contestant. It also features Sid James in one of his first film roles. Ruth Ellis also appears.
Dors was a close friend of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain. Ruth Ellis has a cameo role in Lady Godiva Rides Again,(starring Dors) four years before she was executed by Albert Pierrepoint.
Gruesome but fact.

The last reviewer gives the impression that Diana Dors is the star of Lady Godiva rides again this is misleading as she is ony the co star and appears only for a few scenes the star is Pauline Stroud who for a first time in a leading performance is brillant showing the naivety of the character. It is a shame she seemed to disappear from the limelight.

Good Old English Black and White Motion Picture from the Early Fabulous Fifties, with, a 'touch of sadness.' Ruth Ellis (the last woman executed in Great Britain) makes a brief cameo appearance.
