Prison drama - bad boy Joe Collins organises an escape by a group of prisoners. We see a drunklen prison doctor, an ineffectual governor and a sadistic and ambitious warder. The film was considered very violent at the time the film was released and has a lot of political overtones which were very relevant 60 years ago.

nobody makes gritty, brutal movies about guys who can't catch a break like jules dassin. burt lancaster and noir superstar producer mark hellinger add to the awesomeness.

With a realistic and brutally honest ending, the film comes to an end. However, during the movie we are pulling for the criminals to make a daring escape. Each character has their own stories and backgrounds that make you care about their fates. The film captures the feeling of despair and the bars and darkened prison cells are all on display and bring about the feeling of a cage. These cages are filled with people and no matter how much Captain Munsey thinks he is in a position to do as he pleases, he never realizes that they are still human beings. He will reap what he sows down the line. Highly Recommended!

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!

Not one of the best prison films I've seen, nor one of the best film noirs either, but it does at least give Burt Lancaster one of his first starring roles and contains a memorable performance from Hume Cronyn as the sadistic prison guard. The film contains some good dialogue and is suspenseful if now somewhat dated and flawed.
