Rather Bland Characters move around the Cold Concrete Yards and in an out of the Prison Environs with not much Emotion and the Whole Film has a Blase Boring Feel to it. Broderick Crawford is Miscast and Dorothy Malone seems to be getting ready for a Fifties Housewife Template and can't wait to Bake Cookies.
Glen Ford is Always Watchable but here He doesn't really do much more than Brood. It is the Supporting Players that Add what Zip there is to this Plodding Penitentiary Drama. The Film has Little Style and while it is all put Together Nicely it is just too Nice Looking and Sterile to be Considered a Superior Prison Picture.
