I lived at this penitentiary 32 years after 1942 in the boq I can't imagine how anyone could live on the wages paid by this Department of Corrections in 1942 because in 1974 I could not live very well on the wages I earned here many days spent working a double shift or days off then Drive 125 miles east to Folsom California my home I did this for one year and then I was finished in more ways than one
First mistake of theirs was sending one guard with 3 prisoners. How it even possible that women would want to be married and live at a prison. To hell with that. Crooked guards. Nothing has changed in the system
The actor who played 'Butch" here was in King Kong where he apparently got hurt on set and didn't work for 2 years. Not only that but he died in his 40s of lung cancer. He wasn't exactly blessed w the best luck, was he?
Thank you for keeping these old dramas alive for others to come across and love , and for those who have loved them forever !
This is one of the better movies I have seen in a very long time. Kowing it's based on a true story makes it even better.
Very good movie.Whether you are in prison or the work force,moral is everything.Thanks PizzaFlix!!!!

I have always enjoyed prison films from the thirties and forties. Thanks for posting.
This was really great movie one in which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Rest in peace Sergeant Gilbert Polanco thank you for your service
To the officers that were murdered August 21st 1971 rest in peace God bless you and your families
WWII era stateside made movie 🎥 😊Great opening line by the Guards. I wouldn’t even let the Warden manage a dog pound without all the dogs hating him 😂

And the music was great too
Thanks!
The song is "Lonesome and Sorry".This version is very similar to a 1935 recording by percussionist Vic Berton who recorded it for Columbia Records.
Cool show
I wonder if the term 'Poverty Row Cinema' borrowed it's initials from this production company.
Thank you!!
Good ending for 1942. Is it the same 75 yrs. later?(ls)
So what do swing music and tough cons have in common? The openin' credits of dis here movie ya (dancin') rat!
