The Last Mile (1959)
Grim, gripping story of a desperate prison break
6 December 2023
All the actors give good, strong performances, with Mickey Rooney as the leader of a doomed prison break attempt. All the actors are believable, with Alan Bunce as the Warden and Frank Overton as a priest especially fine.
,
The ensemble cast is made up of lesser known actors, but that doesn't matter , as all involved do a fantastic job of bringing their various characters to life. The frightened new guy, the soft spoken Black prisoner, the sneering
guard who watches over them,, Rooney as a ferocious convict capable of compassion for his cell mates, are all totally convincing.
This is a very intense movie that is not for the faint hearted. Well worth seeing if you get a chance.
