Howard Hawks (Twentieth Century) made his first fiIm for CoIumbia Pictures with this pre-Code prison movie. The great Walter Huston (Dragonwyck) stars as a district attorney-turned-prison warden who gets to witness first-hand the effects of his convictions, especialIy PhiIIip Holmes (An American Tragedy), imprisoned after kiIIing a man in a drunken brawI. Co-starring Boris Karloff (Frankenstein), The CriminaI Code is tough, no-nonsense, quintessential Hawks.
