I'll watch any movie about a prison break, but knowing when this was made makes me think it had to be the equivalent of a banned book.

"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.

a great prison drama. burt lancaster does a great job playing a hardened criminal who's got no problem with killing snitches! a remarkable bleak and nihilistic vision by director jules dassin. interesting that the problems of this prison 62 years ago seem to be the same as now. i guess the penal system hasn't changed much...

Stellar prison-drama noir with a great all-around cast that only suffers from the bluntness of its writing. I can look past this, though, because its filmic techniques are quite refreshing.

In the "Prison film" sub-genre (?), I can't think of a better one than this noir in which prison is meant to mirror all of society. Absolutely hard-hitting without trying to shock (ala more recent fare like OZ) and bleak as all hell. BRILLIANT casting with Lancaster in the lead and with roles going to the gorgeous Yvonne DeCarlo and Ella Raines (in flashback); Howard Duff (radio's Sam Spade); Hume Cronyn (as sadistic facist prison captain); and always welcome character actors Whit Bissell and the (gravel-voiced favorite) Charles McGraw. Maybe Jules Dassin's finest hour (which is damn sure saying much). Soon to be re-released on Criterion DVD, it's one that's sure to be worth the $30!
