Featured review
Prison-centric crime drama that is more melancholy than enjoyable.
This is a very melancholy crime drama in which a very arrogant young gangster gets pinched by the cops and goes up the river where the warden isn't very sympathetic to his "tough guy" attitude or ways. Eventually the warden wears him down and becomes a semi-productive prisoner. Until a fellow inmate wants to make a breakout attempt to see his pregnant girl and he panics when he discovers it's on Saturday...his unlucky day.
The gangster is played by John Garfield and he has a very sympathetic and understanding girlfriend played by Ann Sheridan.
There are no real likable or sympathetic characters, but it was a short prison-centric gang story for those who might enjoy that.
One of my favorite lines: "Come on and shove over. What do you want me to do catch cold?"-Tommy.
