Been there, done that. Definitely gonna go there again and do it again. Thank you for the free movie tickets but I lost the stub for my girlfriend's ticket. Guess that means she's gotta leave darn it.

I love watching old classics like this because every once in awhile you find a hidden gem. This is a really good movie

[@Digital_Blondie]

I wish I lived back then. Even though this is a movie, people just seemed more real back then. They spoke to each other instead of staring at their phones.

[@miapdx503]

They spoke in complete sentences, proper grammer. They didn't interrupt each other. Children's bad behavior was not encouraged. Everyone knew how to write, and spell. And the clothes...😍

To think! it took 81 years for me to find and watch this great movie {April 2020}. And it was well worth it, by far. It had me glued to it, right from the beginning, right to the very end. Can't thank you enough, to whoever added this to KZbin. Well worth watching again in the future.

There are sure alot of people in this movie that went on to become one of those character actors that you know well but just can not remember their names !!!

In 1966, when I was ten, my Dad told me that all American made films always had "Directed by..." as the last entry in the rolling credits. This is the first film that I ever recall seeing where "Directed by xxx" is smack in the middle of the credits.

Half way through I realized it'd have a happy end; a nice drama, and not a film noir.

[@elmagodelmaryahoo]

I'm not quite sure why this film was entitled "The Convicts Code", as it portrayed virtually nothing about such code!! But it was descent film.... for the 1930s.... where the last 20 minutes of plot development could have easily been more fully defined in 'suspenseful' detail to warrant an additional 20 minutes running time to "fill out" this hurried ending... IMHO :-)

After 40 minute and 54 seconds, I have come to hate both Krafft and Hillyer. In thirty minutesTyler violated at least five of his parole orders and lied to his parole officer.

[@coolmoncur]

At 9:47 he has on a black suit. The guy walks on the door at 10:37 and now he is in the chair in a grey suit. Did he go home to change and come back in less than one minute?

[@mr.blazeblue]

9:45 - Norman Willis had a small part as a motorcycle cop in Prison Nurse, one yr before this. And Ben Alexander played a newspaper reporter in Buried Alive -- which was also released in 1939 -- alongside of Wheeler Oakman. I have to wonder if Oakman wasn't considered for the role of Joe Russel;. (I think Wheeler would've given a much better performance.)
