View Full Version : Behind The High Wall (1956) - the hownos/Allaby viewing session
cast:
tom tully - teo years after an oscar nom for the caine mutiny. his career didn't mount to much
john larch - did a lot of tv in the 70s. played the cop in play misty for me
betty lynn - known for barney fife girlfriend in the andy griffith show
I've seen one other film directed by Abner Biberman, The Price of Fear (1956), which I rated a 7/10.
This only has 273 votes on imdb, so it could be a hidden gem.

a decent western
John Gavin also served as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico by appointment of president/actor Ronald Reagan from June 1981 to June 1986.
The story is an interesting one, but so far the execution isn't very thrilling or engaging.
That was underwhelming. Acting is fine, but it just was nowhere near as interesting as it should have been. 6/10 is my rating.
not bad for a message movie built around a film noir. not sure who the movie was about - the warden or johnny. might have been better to concentrate on the warden. he becomes somewhat secondary. 6.5/10
