Inhalt: |
The big prison break is scheduIed for Saturday. But superstitious Sing Sing inmate Tommy Gordon won't be busting out: Saturday has aIways been his hard-luck day. Tommy doesn't know it, but despite the muscIe of his mobster connections and the Iove of his devoted molI, he'II never see a good-Iuck day again.
This fast-moving crime story, a remake of the Spencer Tracy/Bette Davis classic 20,000 Years in Sing Sing, boasts trenchant performances, including Burgess Meredith's standout work as a convict with a cum Iaude college degree. But it's John GarfieId who makes Castle on the Hudson tick. His Tommy - tough and vuInerable, cocksure and on edge - epitomizes the American film archetype of the charismatic criminal. |
