Biography

Marie Ney débute dans les années 1910 au théâtre en Nouvelle-Zélande — où ses parents sont installés — et en Australie. En 1919, de retour en Angleterre, elle y poursuit sa carrière sur les planches et joue notamment dans sa ville natale (participant en particulier à plusieurs saisons de l'Old Vic). Mentionnons Trelawny of the « Wells » d'Arthur Wing Pinero en 1925, Hamlet de William Shakespeare en 1934 (avec Sybil Thorndike et Esmond Knight), Le Sourire de la Joconde d'Aldous Huxley en 1948 (avec Clive Brook et Pamela Brown), ainsi que L'Invitation au château de Jean Anouilh en 1954.

Signalons également en 1930 son rôle de Milady de Winter dans la comédie musicale Les Trois Mousquetaires sur une musique de Rudolf Friml (avec Jerry Verno et Arthur Wontner).

Au cinéma, elle apparaît pour la première fois dans un film muet australien sorti en 1919. Après le passage au parlant, suivent vingt-deux films britanniques entre 1930 et 1964.

Mentionnons Brief Ecstasy d'Edmond T. Gréville (1937, avec Paul Lukas et Hugh Williams), La Taverne de la Jamaïque d'Alfred Hitchcock (1939, avec Charles Laughton et Maureen O'Hara), Guet-apens de Victor Saville (1949, avec Robert et Elizabeth Taylor), ou encore Simba de Brian Desmond Hurst (1955, avec Dirk Bogarde et Virginia McKenna).

Elle participe aussi au film grec Notre dernier printemps de Michael Cacoyannis (1960, avec Tassó Kavadía).

À la télévision britannique, Marie Ney collabore dès 1937 et jusqu'en 1969 à huit téléfilms et neuf séries, souvent d'origine théâtrale. Citons ITV Play of the Week (deux épisodes, 1956-1959) et Maigret (un épisode, 1960).

The storyline in Yield to the Night bears a superficial resemblance to the Ruth Ellis case, which had occurred the previous year. However, the film is based on the novel of the same title published in 1954 by Joan Henry. Coincidentally, Ruth Ellis appeared as an uncredited beauty queen in the 1951 film Lady Godiva Rides Again, also starring Diana Dors.

Henry Holland (Alec Guinness) is dining with a fellow Englishman in a posh restaurant in Rio de Janeiro where he is well known. He relates a story explaining his presence in Rio. It seems he was a seemingly unambitious London bank clerk in charge of gold bullion deliveries for over 20 years. He had a reputation for fussing over details and suspecting all cars he observed following the bullion van, but all in all appeared to be a man dedicated to his job and the gold's security. In fact, he had hatched the "perfect" plot to steal a load of bullion and retire. The one thing stopping him had been that selling the gold on the black market in Britain was too risky, and he was at a loss as to how to smuggle it abroad.

The film is set in the early 1950s. The British Prime Minister, (Ronald Adam), is sent a letter by Professor Willingdon (Barry Jones), who works at Britain's Atomic weapons development facility, the Wallingford Research Centre, from which he has surreptitiously taken a nuclear warhead. It is a very explicit threat that Willingdon will destroy the centre of London in a week's time, at noon (hence the film title), unless the British government declares that it is to stop all stockpiling of nuclear warheads. Detective Superintendent Folland (André Morell) of Scotland Yard's Special Branch is charged with tracking down Willingdon and stopping him.
