[@winonamassingill7895]

For about half a year mother and I moved to Washington with my stepfather from Texas. He was a carpenter and there was lots of work for his son and his son-in-law up there. I was in my senior year in the high school at Connell Washington. We had never been to Wala Wala but we had been to see Mt Rainer and we had gone to see the Great Hoover Damn and we crossed over the border into Canada 🍁 to spend the night so we could truthfully say that we had been in Canada 🍁. We lived in the seven city’s area.try city’s area of Washington. Kennewick and Pasco and Richland area

Respectful corrections: Tri-Cities (Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick in Washington State.) Spelling: Mt. Rainier, Walla Walla, Grand Coulee Dam (Hoover Dam is in Clark County, Nevada, close to Las Vegas.

I'm used to seeing Myron Healey in westerns. This is a good change of pace.

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

Myron did a decent Doc Holiday in a few episodes of the Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp series. Side note: Phil Hartman, a former, and deceased, SNL cast member, closely resembled Healy and had similar mannerisms - particularly that funny/sneaky grin.

[@rubywingo6030]

Oh my gosh! What a blast! We spent all day on a Sunday and watched it through! So much fun!,

[@brianblack6190]

Great movie

[@XNTN808]

Myron Healey was so good. I always enjoy his work.

Thank you

I actually live near the prison.... great history🤔 hmmmmm? Liked the movie from the era👍😁

"You're the best man in the country in your field." What field is that, going to prison?

Just a well done story times and conditions have changed ❤😢❤😢❤😢❤😢❤😢

[@sgt.duke.mc_50]

I think a person has to have grown up with this kinda stuff, seeing it in a Saturday afternoon matinee, at an indoor theatre, to really have an appreciation. Cheesy, but what fun it is.

Features some very good performances from the second string characters

Classic, no doubt!

Nothing like showing a movie about a real Criminal

[@mr.blazeblue]

These days, there's a very different sort of criminal in Oregon, They're known as "the homeless."

[@musik102]

Myron was great but is this one of the few - only? - times he played lead.

[@LydellFisk]

My Healy never got an Oscar? I ow-rage!!

[@idiotwind2248]

"Im afraid some might think he was a hero" Should be afraid how ppl see how law enforcement & prison guards were just as lawless and cruel as criminal, s. Entertaining stuff. 👍

[@bobbosco9378]

The amount of ads here are as painful as that shiv in the prison yard

[@DavidRice111]

"John Omar Pinson" was a real convict whose real name was Omar August Pinson. His wiki page is pitifully under-detailed.

[@syncue5411]

How times have changed…

[@JJJBRICE]

Actor Frank Richards who played Bennett the grave digger was featured in a 1961 episode of Qzzie and Harriet , called The Manly Arts extolling the prowess of old Ozzie's fighting ability . Richards was pretty with his single line .

Interesting/informative/entertaining.

[@matta3968]

Ya lousy screw!! Lol, love the old timey gangsters.

[@robertnagel337]

Wasn’t Healey in EVERY western on TV back in the fifties?😊

[@mr.blazeblue]

Today, almost 70 years after this movie was released, the state of Oregon has very different criminals to deal with. They're known as "the homeless."

[@sofiawhitmire8369]

And the politicians

[@mr.blazeblue]

@@sofiawhitmire8369 Perhaps. But at least politicians' errors aren't intentional. Personally, I can't think of any other job that would be more stressful than being a politician. Especially in the case of being a president of the U S A! Joe Biden is a primary case in point: he now suffers from dementia.

[@mr.blazeblue]

@@sofiawhitmire8369 Perhaps. But politicians haven't a genuine sense of criminal intent. What they all have in common, regardless of their party affiliation, is that they're worthy of respect for doing the best they can in a very difficult and very stressful job. If there's one thing I'd never want to be, it's President of the USA. Take Joe Biden, for example: Old Joe B. now suffers from Dementia! As for the homeless, though, that's an entirely different story. Some can be very pleasant, but others -- such as ones who are drug addicts -- are murders. I was almost killed in March of 2023, when a woman in her 30s repeatedly pounded me with a pair of huge wooden boards

[@mrsteveinsandiego]

over and out? uh, no. over means "you talk now". out means "this conversation is finished". did the director and script writer ever study 2-way radio jargon? 54:51...sign on store "toy's"....sheesh

[@garyolsen3409]

maybe you should have directed it Mr. Demille

[@Richard-s2n7c]

That Healey Actor was also on a couple of Bowery Boys shorts one in particular called """DIG THAT URANIUM"" 1955 where he was part of a group of a Bad Gang trying to get that Uranium deed from that Sweet Shop owner DEmbrowski, in Real Life Leo Gorcey ( Mahoney) father.

I was watching a commercial and a movie broke out

[@aspenrebel]

Don't you just hate when that happens?

Three years later and nothing has changed 😂😂

[@NYC1927]

On certain street scenes you can see some of the same buildings shot from opposite angles after the car has supposedly been driven around the city.. Lol!

[@buffalopatriot]

Myron Healy is one of the great under appreciated actors of film history.

[@ChrisCarlin-is8wv]

Oregon cops today would assist the thugs and the justice system would set them free.

[@bigran_outbound2262]

Dope

[@arlenmargolin1650]

This movie is so funny they knock the criminals knock a phone off the hook and the police are at the other end of it saying somebody knocked the phone off the hook at the gun shop like what the

[@chrisgermo1956]

......yeahhhhh, so unrealistic!!!!.........what really happened was the owner of an all-nite diner 2 blocks away heard, and then smelled, a fart coming from the sporting goods store that could only have come from a prison-food eating man with terminal cancer.......

[@haroldreyes7549]

UNREALISTIC, LIKE TODAY'S GARBAGE!!

[@kinte1870]

Lol you must be young. Back in the day when they had phone operators..the line was open when you picked the phone up. The operator just connected the call. The police wasn't on the other end already . The operator called the police and told them the phone at the store was off the hook and noises could be heard. For the time period it's very realistic.

[@NYC1927]

​@@chrisgermo1956You just don't understand how phone lines worked back then.

[@petekanter8120]

1:00.21 to 1:11.15: Interesting coincidence that the truck driver (William Fawcett) gave his paroled prisoner passenger a little lecture on life's ethics. Back in the early 1940s, Fawcett was a Ph.D. at Michigan State University.

[@zxtenn]

MMMM, love how they could shoot tires out just by sticking the pistol out the door, great movie

[@kinte1870]

Good shots

[@tomweickmann6414]

2:02:00 Pulled a what?😆

[@miketemple7686]

Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. While they were pulling boners🍆, poor guy gets killed. Great police work guys.😂😂

[@stevelewis7263]

And yet he wasn't "FRIED" for the murder of the police officer who questioned his "Tackle"

[@Nefarioso]

When Pinion shot the cop who'd wanted to see his "fishing tackle", why did the police automatically assume it was Pinion who did the shooting? There were no witnesses.

Oregon Route 180 is an Oregon state highway running from the community of Eddyville to U.S. Route 20 in Blodgett. OR 180 is known as the Eddyville-Blodgett Highway No. 180 (see Oregon highways and routes). It is 19.23 miles (30.95 km) long and runs west-east.
