“During all this activity it was revealed that Yield to the Night was the only British film to be chosen for the Cannes Film Festival. It was to be the most glittering, successful week of my life. I stayed at the luxurious Carlton Hotel, was courted by the press, photographed leading the famous flower festival, competed with Susan Hayward and Doris Day among others for the Best Actress award, and received a standing ovation after the film premiered. I remember looking down from the balcony of my hotel suite that evening, seeing all the lights twinkling along the Croisette, among them my own name and hearing the roar of the crowd below. ‘This is my night,’ I thought breathlessly. ‘Whatever happens to me in the future, no-one can ever take it away.’” —Diana Dors on the film performance that she was most proud of (Dors by Diana, 1981)

"An enormous press party was held in the Crystal Room of the Sheree Netherlands Hotel, where we had a sumptuous suite, to introduce me to the American press, and I did my best to describe who I was, and had been, in England- long before Monroe was even heard of. But all the time her name kept coming up, for nothing I had done- apart from the Bob Hope TV special- meant anything to these hard-boiled American reporters. So different from the ones we left behind at home! Yield to the Night, the Cannes Festival, films, plays, variety- it all meant nothing as they compared me with her. This made me extremely insecure. For the first time in my life I experienced the sensation of people thinking and implying I had copied someone else to attain success. In the minds of the American press, and soon the public, I was merely some British blonde without any talent who had jumped on Monroe’s band-wagon. Even worse, to them I was a beginner in show-business!"–Diana Dors on being compared to Marilyn Monroe (Dors by Diana, 1981)
