Not the toughest prison - or after prison - film ever made

Not RIOT IN CELL BLOCK 11 nor BRUTE FORCE, nor THE LAST MILE either. But it is actually a movie about an ex jail bird who was condemned for manslaughter, and who, after his release from prison, encounters many issues. Nothing really exciting, but it is an Universal crime drama, rather hard to find, and Richard Basehart is an actor who is always interesting to see in a movie, especially a thriller. The funny thing is that after this one - OUTSIDE THE WALL - director Crane Wilbur will give us INSIDE THE WALLS OF FOLSOM, and I don't even speak of his CANON CITY, made before this one. Also both prison break plots. Good little noir, pretty much enjoyable.

Trivia
Joe Besser appears uncredited as a the diner owner who is held up at gun point early in the film. He later gained fame as a member of the Three Stooges briefly from 1957-59.

Goofs
At the end of the film when dying criminal Jack Bernard (played by John Hoyt) falsely and vindictively attempts to incriminate Larry Nelson (Richard Basehart) to the police as being his former accomplice in the armoured car robbery, all Larry would have had to do in order to clear himself would be to have his true identity verified by the authorities of the Philadelphia prison from which he had recently been released.
