Review of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) by Stephen H — 18 Feb 2010
"I STEAL!" This film was very well done, and overcomes its melodramatic moments thanks to the brilliant intensity of Paul Muni as the titular fugitive. Great films like "Cool Hand Luke" and even "The Shawshank Redemption" share a strong legacy with this film, which was critical of the prison system and helped to rally public support for pardoning actual chain gang prisoners, including the one who inspired this film.
