He's intent on reaching his love, who does not know he's in prison but will not have a lifesaving operation until he's at her side. The escape plan goes awry when Capt. Munsey, the prison guard and Joe's enemy, gets a tip-off and greets them in a machine-gun shoot out.

Editorial Reviews Rating: B Entertainment Weekly - p.67 - Lisa Schwarzbaum
"...[Hume Cronyn's] most memorable screen role..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars Clark
"It's a stark, nihilistic anti-fascist allegory built around the repellent figure of Hume Cronyn's slipper, sadistic warden and the young Burt Lancaster's anguished grace." Sight and Sound - Tom Charity (07/01/2007)
