[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

Good movie! Seeing that Coin operated TV reminded Me of those coin operated mini TVs they used to have in Greyhound Stations! They used to have Coin operated Toilets too!

[@tonyneal4716]

As a teenager we stayed in a motel that had a coin operated tv. It was twenty cents for an hour's worth of viewing. Never seen a tv like that before then or since.

[@davidweston9115]

and the coins were precious metals (silver and gold) and had lots of value. today we need paper dollar machines. because a can of coke is $3.00

[@davidleonard1813]

I never seen a coin operated TV but rented a room with a gas meter that was 5 X 20 cent coin per hour for the gas heater in 1987

Sometimes, these B movies surprise. It covered a lot of territory. And those cars, love seeing them.

Wow this movie was absolutely awesome

[@Stax-ht9md]

Darn good movie - enjoyed it all!

Good novice! Thanks Really enjoyed this movie! Acting was good! Thanks again

[@rogermaes6001]

Not bad at all, never heard of it. Wonderful image in HD... and all those gorgeous american cars of the 50's ! (But i saw a Combi VW truck at 36:53). Thanks a lot !

[@robtw88]

Very cool!

[@karenshafer234]

Digging with square-tipped shovels in early scene...nice touch

[@johnbockelie3899]

How come they were digging with square tipped shovels?, we're the spade shape too dangerous for them since they were prisoners?. You could take a person's head off with a square shovel.

[@johnbockelie3899]

Made in the days when thugs dressed in suits and ties. Not like today's thugs.

[@johnbockelie3899]

Who's the cheap skate that invented a coin operated TV ?. Yet today they have money accessed TV channels.

Nice, real nice! Set out for some film noir, see, and I got what I was lookin' for.

[@nickpemberton543]

Love the climactic fight with 2 stuntmen who look nothing like the actors they're subbing! Great stuff...

[@autumnleaves2766]

Another decent B movie from the 1950s, quite tense and well-acted. Richard Devon (1926-2010) makes for a good villain.

[@richardnogan4579]

Not bad. Tku for post.

[@PlanetaryCitizen]

I liked the guitar background music in this movie. It has a very Spanish/Mexican feel to it.

And he goes back to San Quentin to finnish his stretch with added time and everyone lives happily ever after he got out.

Good movie!!

[@BeachsideHank]

Richard Devon, one of the best of the bad men, and best of Hollywood husbands, married to the same gal for 50 years, a rarity in that industry. ☺ Some guys are happy just to do an honest day's work and come home to family and wouldn't read anything more into the profession like the "with benefits" thing.

No Oscar winners, No academy awards, No famous good looking actors, no "film noir". This movie on TCM, not. Ben Mankowicz knows this movie, not. Probably Robert Osborne did! Good movie, thank you.

What a cheesy over actor the main lead was.he was stomach turning corny.

[@godfreecharlie]

This movie has a sense of realism not seen in films nowadays. The way the calamity unfolds making each decision a risky proposition. The events that transpire are just what one would expect in the situation at hand. The plot is not some outlandish scheme. The very same type of thing happens near my home which is close to forest work camps. They do have some fortunate occurrences but it's believable. More so than films made nowadays.
