Rating: - captivating!!!!!!
Way ahead of its time.I wish I could see this on the stage as it was originally done. Anyone has an interest in the seedy underworld of prison life will love it. Brilliant!!!!!!
Rating: - A must see for prison movie fans
I have only seen this movie once because it is hard to watch, but well worth watching.
