Bill T A step up from the stiff "Convict's Code" movie from 1931 that this movie is remade from, Broderick Crawford fills Water Hustons shoes very nicely as the DA turned Prison Warden with a heart of golden. I was worried that he was going to be TOO soft, but Crawford knows when to be soft and when to lay down the law. Gleen Ford is pretty much Glenn Ford in anything he does. He's supposedly 27 here, but he could pass for 40 here. But he's Glenn Ford, so I guess that's ok lol Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review kevin w Stiff and formally presented account of a young man (Glenn Ford) imprisoned and disheartened by "the system" (represented by an overdone Broderick Crawford). Can he learn to trust again? Find love? Not exactly bad, even if it seems to admit that the system sometimes does makes mistakes and makes an under-the-table apology for it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost film noir, happy ending. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Glenn Ford is wrongfully arrested for the accidental death of a rich man's son (who was being a jerk at a dance hall for Ford's girl and Ford rightfully punched him, but he hit his head and later died of his head injury). Ford has a crumby lawyer and ends up with a long prison sentence. While in prison, Ford goes through the usual prinson film cliches when kindly new warden Broderick Crawford (who was the prosecuting attorney that send him to prison) comes to the big house, he tries to help Ford. Dorothy Malone plays Ford's girl and Millard Mitchell plays a tough con who Ford shares a cell with, along with Will Geer and Ed Begley. It's all pretty formal, but I've always liked Glenn Ford and it's a entertaining enough of production, even if it's nothing as original as "Brute Force" which came out just three years earlier. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member oh boy another prison drama Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of a low-budget variation on The Big House or Brute Force, but a good one. Glenn Ford gets railroaded by a lousy lawyer into serving a dime for accidental manslaughter. The arresting police captain, (and ex-lawyer) Crawford eventually becomes his new warden and tough advocate to the wary and now embittered con. The ensuing drama is effectively gripping, due in large part to economical storytelling and a fine supporting cast of lifers. Crawford gets into full barking outrage at key moments, and the scenes of the prisoners "yammering" in protest are well done.
