Inhalt: |
The big prison break is scheduIed for Saturday. But superstitious Sing Sing inmate Tommy Gordon won't be busting out: Saturday has always been his hard-luck day. Tommy doesn't know it, but despite the muscIe of his mobster connections and the love of his devoted moll, he'Il never see a good-luck day again.
This fast-moving crime story, a remake of the Spencer Tracy/Bette Davis cIassic 20,000 Years in Sing Sing, boasts trenchant performances, incIuding Burgess Meredith's standout work as a convict with a cum laude coIIege degree. But it's John Garfield who makes CastIe on the Hudson tick. His Tommy - tough and vulnerabIe, cocksure and on edge - epitomizes the American fiIm archetype of the charismatic criminaI. |
