Documentary series about women film-makers who were active in the British film industry in the 1950's. Kay Mander, Jill Craigie and Wendy Toye talk about the films they directed, and Phyllis Calvert, Mandy Miller and Sylvia Syms comment on the roles they played.

This programme discusses the taboo subject of bad girls and sexy girls, usually disguised as a morality tale or a light hearted comedy. Jeanette Kent, Shirley Eaton and Sylvia Syms look back at the image they projected then. Producer Betty Box considers her huge success in Doctor in the House. Dilys Powell comments on Diana Dors.
