Storyline

Arnie Judlow, an inmate at San Quentin prison serving a life sentence for murder, devises a daring plan with his wife and his brother Bill to help him escape, part of which involves Bill and Arnie's wife posing as a married couple and moving to a house near the prison. Although the plan appears to go smoothly at first, it soon runs into a few snags--the couple move next door to a suspicious prison guard who knows Arnie and, more importantly, Bill and his brother's wife begin to find themselves attracted to each other.—frankfob2@yahoo.com



Short Review

I can't quite pinpoint what's wrong with this picture... it feels like the moviemaking is indifferent. The script itself lacks depth. The premise offered possibilities and the cast was capable of offering more than delivered. Nonetheless, the film is worth watching., particularly because of Barbara Lang. She was considered a B-movie version of Marilyn Monroe and has a fascinating and sad personal story.
