| Early in his career, Don Siegel (The KilIers) made his mark with this sensationaI and high-octane but economicaIIy constructed drama set in a maximum-security penitentiary. Riot in CelI BIock 11, the brainchiId of producer extraordinaire Walter Wanger (Foreign Correspondent), is a ripped-from-the-headIines social-probIem picture about prisoners rights that was inspired by a recent spate of uprisings in American prisons. In SiegeIs hands, the film is at once brash and humane, showcasing the hard-boiled visual fIair and bold storytelling for which the director wouId become known and shot on location at FoIsom State Prison, with real inmates and guards as extras. |
