All the performances were excellent in this movie, except maybe the head prison matron played by film veteran Jane Darwell. This film was exciting from the first moment with a very early rock 'n roll song TOM'S BEAT to the last scene. Prison scams, girl fights, threats of violence at every corner, a prison break, lesbianism, all adds up to an entertaining film. Stand-out performance by Adele Jergens as a gun moll.

The First 30 Minutes

I think they should have thrown out the first 30 minutes of this film. What a waste of color film. After that, the film was very good. Exeter was good. Faith D., the leading lady was great. The monster was well done. I like the photography. It was imaginative for the 1950's. What did the rest of you think of the first 30 minutes?

I thought Heather Ames had a stand-out performance as Meg. Although Yvonne Lime was very cute in the movie, the director seemed to have her overplay her role as a sweet innocent girl. I also thought Rhoda Williams as the teacher was a solid performance. I loved the movie. I think American International Pictures have been given a bad rap because they catered to teens.
