Jailbreak (1936)
An underrated prison film from Warner Bros
11 January 2024
Many films were like this one, where you can find all the ingredients that you usually have in prison films. I thought to find Barton Mc Lane as the warden of this jail. I don't know why, but each time I see Barton McLane's name in a crime film, I imagine him as a prison warden. This one is short, but not on the same scale as the best films of Warner. But Nick Grinde is not Robert Florey either; Florey who was an excellent B director for Warner in the forties, and thirties too. However Nick Grinde was a director whose stuff should be seen again, just to check if there is anything worth. It is absolutely possible. Some elements here reminded me a westrn from 1968: FIVE CARDS STUD.
