Review :
Life in the big House... circa 1950
Penitentiary starts with the narrator (Cleary) introducing the prison, and several of its most famous residents. It starts out sounding like a documentary, but we quickly see Roger Manners (Warner Baxter) entering the jail, having been convicted of some financial crime. He has the usual set of run-ins with other prisoners, who are testing him and giving him the run-around. Manners keeps his cool, and is kind of a lone wolf. To make things worse, his wife (Karin Booth) starts seeing "Stan" (Robert Shayne), who looks JUST like Manners, which is a little odd. They could be twins. Word about his wife gets back to Manners, and the other guys give him the business. Then he gets caught up in the various plans of the other prisoners, and things get all mixed up. Most of the story moves pretty slow... but it's not bad. Things pick up big-time in the last fifteen or twenty minutes. The story is pretty plain & simple, but there are worse ways to spend sixty six minutes... a Columbia shortie.
Story by Henry Helseth, who also wrote two other novels which were made into films; "Chair for Martin Rome" was made into Cry of the City, and "Un aller simple" became One Way Ticket. Directed by Lew Landers, who had acted in a couple of silents before directing films and a whole SLEW of TV series.
