Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't listen to the negative reviews...
This was a decent prison film that hooked the viewer & kept you interested in the plot. The characters were fun to watch & interesting. It appealed to the viewer on more of a psychological level. Overall, not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. Not over-the-top like many of today's prison films which heavily rely on blood & gore. This one has depth to its characters & I thought this was truly well done. It's based on a play by the same name. If you like good, offbeat prison pictures that examine its characters & maintains realism in the process, this is a good choice. It's a cult classic. I wonder when MGM will finally get on the ball & put this on DVD.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I Had The Chance To Discuss This With Michael Greer
I had seen this onstage in New York and a few years later ran into Michael Greer in a bar in Greenwich Village. He was playing a video game. Since I was an actor, I introduced myself and complimented him on both his stage and screen work in "Fortune." He was completely different than the character, "Queenie." He was a normal-acting guy, who was personable and chatty. Greer said doing the play was more fun, but he was happy to have it on film. We had a nice chat.

I liked the movie. Firstly, Ronnie Dyson did a wonderful singing job on the tile song. Just beautiful. The movie moved well and was never boring. One kind of sits on the edge of one's seat expecting the next explosive scene. The movie was well-shot, especially in those tiny cells. Wendell Burton was properly boy ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Welcome to the Real World
This is a brutally realistic prison film. The very naïve Smitty, the main character played by Wendell Burton, goes to prison where he is totally unprepared for his harrowing experiences. I saw this movie in the theater when it was first released. I was in high school and it was a very disturbing and frightening film to sit through. Director Harvey Hart's film is brutal, harsh and very realistic. Its effect is very claustrophobic as Smitty grimly comes to the realization that there is no one to turn to and no way out of his horrific situation. This film is several years ahead of its time, engrossing but at times hard to watch.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - captivating!!!!!!
Way ahead of its time.I wish I could see this on the stage as it was originally done. Anyone has an interest in the seedy underworld of prison life will love it. Brilliant!!!!!!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A must see for prison movie fans
I have only seen this movie once because it is hard to watch, but well worth watching.
