But if you put all those people in one place and they’re all trying to escape, well …

A cardinal is arrested for treason against the state. As a prince of his church, and a popular hero of this people, for his resistance against the Nazis during the war and afterward his resistance when his country again fell to a totalitarian conquerer. In prison, his interrogator is determined to get a confession of guilt against the state from the strong willed man, and thus destroy his power over his people. The verbal and psychological battles are gripping and powerful - not even the increasing pressures put upon the Cardinal can force him to weaken; not even solitary confinement, continuous blazing light in his cell, sleeplessness, efforts to persuade him he is going mad. And yet, in the deepening conflict, the superb indomitable prisoner, creates a tremendous pity on his tormentor, the interrogator.

U.S. film. Women in prison films have been around a long time. It’s a genre with timeless appeal and this one’s got it all—except nudity and blatant lesbianism (although, it is hinted at). C’mon it’s 1955! It’s got an intensely sadistic, borderline psychotic female warden played by Ida Lapino. There’s the new “fish,” mental torture, beatings, a riot, a sympathetic prison doctor. And, this movie even has a twist—the prison is co-ed and occasionally a male prisoner slips over to the female side to get some loving! A female inmate gets pregnant and in an attempt to find out how the male prisoner found his way over to the female side, the female warden beats the impregnated female. The beating eventually leads to the woman’s death and the female inmates start a riot. They take control of the women’s side of the prison and exact revenge on the warden. The warden goes insane. Jan Sterling is excellent as a street-smart, wise-cracking jailbird. Ida Lupino, Jan Sterling, Cleo Moore, Audrey Totter, Phyllis Thaxter, Howard Duff, Warren Stevens, Barry Kelley, Gertrude Michael, Vivian Marshall, Mae Clarke, Ross Elliott, Adelle August, Don C. Harvey, Juanita Moore. Women’s Prison!
