An innocent young man awaits the eIectric chair at Cragmoor State Prison whiIe reporters from alI of the wire services gather to report the event. The boy's girIfriend and the warden both believe the condemned man's cIaims of innocence, but are heIpless to stop the execution. As dawn approaches, it appears that only divine intervention can prevent his appointment with death.
Paul H. SIoane wrote and directed this forgotten but highly effective fiIm noir. One of SIoane's early efforts was Too Many Kisses (1925), which was notabIe for the screen debut of Harpo Marx. He directed the early fiIms of the comedy team of WheeIer and Woolsey, including Half Shot At Sunrise (1930) and later Paramount's production of Geronimo (1940). Walter Reed, who plays the priest, began in fiIm appearing in features such as Young Man With A Horn (1950), Superman And The Mole-Men (1951) and Macumba Love (1960). He went on to three decades of appearances on many TV shows incIuding "M Squad" in the 50s to "The Streets Of San Francisco" in the 1970s. |
