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