Half way through this movie, we kept thinking about a similarity with another one we had seen recently. Later on, checking upon it, we realized this was a remake of "Picture Snatcher", a James Cagney vehicle. Further checking revealed both films are based on Danny Ahern's story.
"Escape from Crime" doesn't work as well as the previous movie, but for a 51 minutes feature, it gets to the basics right away. As directed by D Ron Ledermann, this B movie packs a lot in such a small format.
Best of all was the cast. Richard Travis, Julie Bishop, Jackie Gleason, Frank Wilcox, Charles Wilson, Anne Corcoran and Ruth Ford, as the molls of the gang members.
