Plot

Convicts in a prison in the Old West.

Sinekatalog’s take

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's darkly comic western pits Kirk Douglas's cunning convict against Henry Fonda's decent warden. Wry and cynical, with a sharp script, it is a witty, underrated late-60s oddity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
