I love crime/courtroom dramas and this one scores way up there with a fantastic film all around. Susan Hayward was exceptionally strong and well deserves her Oscar for her work here. Stylish and a classic noir just smoldering with great lighting and slick acting without being too affected, this is a great film to watch for anyone interested in seeing a terrific performance of a woman fighting for her life.

... intelligent, adult, and unflinching, making a powerful case against capital punishment while delivering a riveting drama.

Director Wise is content to let Hayward take the film in her teeth from the moment she appears in the film and not let it go until she collapses in the gas chamber two hours later.

This is a very powerful movie. I saw it last year and I still remember parts of it like yesterday. It makes my stomache churn because of the reality of it. It actually happened. Shows how mistakes can be made. It is a very moving and gut wrenching story and because you know it is true, it makes you not want to see it again. You can remember forever

A True Story: Susan Hayward won an Academy Award for her performance classic I Want to Live! Hayward plays Barbara Graham, a "good-time girl" with a heart of gold and absolutely no instincts about when to drop a bad association. After bouncing in and out of the prison system for a series of petty crimes, Graham suddenly finds herself framed for murder and facing the death penalty. Hayward is simply marvelous, giving a wrenching, complex performance without ever becoming maudlin. Director Robert Wise ratchets the tension up to a nearly unbearable level, making Barbara's moments of hope as agonizing as those of her despair. The film is based on the story of the real-life Barbara Graham, taken from her letters and interviews with reporter Ed Montgomery. Montgomery himself appears as a character, and the film is surprisingly evenhanded about condemning his own role in Graham's conviction.
