The Big House

Warner Archive released two other versions of this movie the Spanish and French language versions.  I thought this was great since I'm frustrated with the lack of Spanish/Mexican movies of the past that aren't subtitled.  I feel that subtitles should be provided for every movie so that other cultures can watch the movies as well.  Anyway this is a pretty good prison movie.  Robert Montgomery plays a man in for manslaughter.  Wallace Beery steals the show as Machine Gun Butch Schmidt.  The ending with the big break is amazing as the police and the prisoners fight against each other.
