Featured review
Just by adding Laurence Tierney in the lead role as a rehabilitated convict, named Jim Roland, who is asked by the San Quentin Warden to become the prison's model spokesperson for the rehabilitation program that has gone into affect makes the film worthy of a watch.
A prison escape is planned by a wolf in sheep's clothing prisoner who eventually will bump heads with the recently reformed Jim Roland, (Laurence Tierney) who wants to ensure the Warden's newly introduced rehabilitation program continues even though the Prison Board believes it should be scrapped.
The film is a classic good guy versus bad guy black and white 1946 crime film well worth a watch.
I rate it a 6 out of 10 IMDb rating.
