Hume Cronyn as a ruthless prison guard? I thought so too until I popped this baby in and found out just how sinister he could be as an actor. Definately a prototypical performance for future prison break movies. Speaking of which Burt Lancaster had a flair for these types of roles. His character Joe Collins is like a powder keg of visceral rage. The ideas and mood of the inmates are all channeled through him. Great acting all around and how about the gritty realism of this picture? Each frame is like watching one of those old news reels that documented the inner workings of a maximum security prison during the mid twentieth century. Underrated noir film.

An extremely brutal piece of prison film. The entire film is like a critique of the way prisons are run, it shows what happens behind the scenes and goes right into the psychology, by the establishing of chcracter personality and their background, though vague, offers glimpses of these man, basically they are men like any other. They gamble, they err and they don't get better in prison. A very harsh piece that is also an allegory of power in the United States by a great artist of American cinema.

"Nobody escapes. Nobody ever really escapes." Despite its title sounding like a Steven Segal flick, this film is fantastic. Lancaster is always great and I'm not sure Hume Cronyn ever does better than this sadistic prison captain. Not as good as "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Cool Hand Luke", but it might be the third best prison movie out there... and for 1947 its both incredibly dark and sophisticated.

Classic prison noir/melodrama with excellent performances

This early Burt Lancaster piece is an underrated classic. I don't understand the G rating but the strong performances make it a fantastic tour de force.
