Set in 1955 in the glamorous and intoxicating world of London club-land, Ruth found acclaim, aged 28, as the capital&#8217;s youngest club manager. But her success soon unraveled as she became entwined in an abusive relationship with racing driver David Blakely. On trial for his murder, Ruth was condemned to die by a system that judged her for far more than her crime.<em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-80352\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cruel-Love-20241203d.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"666\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cruel-Love-20241203d.webp 666w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cruel-Love-20241203d-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>o Cast: Lucy Boynton, Toby Jones, Laurie Davidson, Mark Stanley, Bessie Carter<\/p>\n<p>o Creatives: Kelly Jones (Writer), Lee Haven Jones (Director), Angie Daniell (Producer), Carol Ann Lee (Author of <em>A Fine Day for Hanging: The Real Ruth Ellis Story<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Executive Producers: Kate Bartlett, Antonia Gordon, Kelly Jones<\/p><div id=\"morty-3057435386\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following the two-episode premiere, the series will roll out weekly until its March 3 finale.<\/p>\n<p>\r\n      <table id=\"tmdb-pro\">\r\n        <tbody>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td class=\"tmdb-pro-poster\" width=\"20%\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w300_and_h450_bestv2\/\/i2qEUE5dj3brA99H0kkLkH6RfnM.jpg\"><\/td>\r\n            <td>\r\n              <h3><b>A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story<\/b><\/h3>\r\n            <\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr><td><span><b>Network:<\/b> ITV1<\/span><span><b>Genre:<\/b> Drama<\/span><span><b>Seasons:<\/b> 1<\/span><span><b>Episodes:<\/b> 4<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><h5><b>Overview<\/b><\/h5><p>A 1950s true crime drama about Ruth Ellis, the last woman in Britain to be hanged.
