One of the dirtiest, grittiest crime noirs to come out of the 1950s. It's about a man, Jerry Barker, that kidnaps a sick child, holds him hostage and asks the father for ransom money for the safe return of the child. Barker gets his money but the boy ends up dead and Barker in prison. He became known as The Ice Man in the news papers and well hated in prison for killing a child. Barker's troubles become worse inside the penitentiary.
Great casting, superb acting, cinematography is beautiful and a story that can leave you on the edge of your seat.
A worthwhile crime-prison film to watch. It is really rough at times but a darn good film. Great to see this one again!
9/10
