Old Burt looks like he's been in stir too long. He seems to be turning the other cheek. Either that or he's launching into 'Mad About the Boy'. Not healthy.
Hume's 'working out to Nietzsche' routine was resurrected by DeNiro for the 'Cape Fear' remake opener.

We need to rearrange Doc Loch's clue with mgh's clue, so that the "brute" part comes first.

christopher - you and your easy clues?!! Ive never seen the film but i got it from the two perfectly-subtle clues.
We need to get you to think harder about cleverer more cunning hints!!
Is there a course you could go on??! Ha ha.

"Surprisingly effective, starkly photographed prison drama, just old enough - and thankfully in black and white - to show what good directors and actors could do before Hollywood became a nauseating factory for so-called "progressive" ideas. If this film were made today, it would probably play up the homosexual undertones, with full-frontal male nudity in the shower scenes, in a pathetic "modern" attempt to try to show that we are all "equal", and that prison is actually "bad" for us... instead of trying to demonstrate that these sick degenerate criminals are there for a reason, probably stealing or something equally repugnant."

Bill Carson, you are entirely too picky!
It's not like I gave the title away…someone could have guessed, "Brute Apparently" or "Brute Reckoned" or "Brute With"!

You are forcing me to be brutal with you christopher, you are just itching to name these films, arent you??!!

You better back off, or I'll have to come after you brutally and forcefully!

ok, well, enough of this obvious-clue banter.
moving swiftly on...did this film count as noir?
(and were there any half moon windows in it?!)

Isn't that Jeff Corey in the middle?

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
In my opinion, it is definitely very NOIR, but I only saw it once many years ago, and I cannot recall any moon-shaped windows.
Jeff Corey looked all of 19 in this flick.
It is amazingly brutal, and forceful.

Les has not only wilfully misinterpreted the whole thrust of the film, which is anti-fascist, but he's shoved his own agenda straight from the rectum at his readers. This from a bloke who claims repeatedly elsewhere that cinema should never be dissed as art on grounds of elitism.

One of the early Burt Lancaster films. Directed by the person who also gave us Never On Sunday and Topkapi.
