Review of House of Numbers (1957) by Allan C — 02 Apr 2013

It's the prison version of "The Parent Trap" with Jack Palance in the Hayley Mills role. So what do you do if you want to break your identical twin brother out of prison? Switch places with him of course.

It's a petty ridiculous premiss for a prison story but it does have a good cast besides Palance that includes the great Timothy Carey, Bill Erwin Edward Platt, and an uncredited Joe Turkel, who modern audiences will know as Lloyd the Bartender from "The Shining" or as Dr.

Tyrell from "Blade Runner".
