Movie Reviews

Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostPrison melodrama is stuffy and uninventive, despite good cast.
New York Times - 6/10 by Mordaunt HallGranted that Howard Hawks's direction is for the most part intelligent and firm, there are occasional sequences which he spoils by extravagant ideas or by leaving too little to the imagination.
User Review - 10/10 by John CWonderful early Hawks film is tough, devilish fun. Standing out is a rare, non-horror movie performance by Karloff as a deadly inmate "with an appointment to keep".
User Review - 6/10 by Greg WGranted that Howard Hawks's direction is for the most part intelligent and firm, there are occasional sequences which he spoils by extravagant ideas or by leaving too little to the imagination.
