The Big House (1930)

Directed by George Hill
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Robert Montgomery is convicted for manslaughter and goes to the big house. He is jammed into a cell with convicted murderers Wallace Beery and Chester Morris. His meek demeanor makes him easy prey for the more hardened criminals. Influential prison film just about invented the genre.
