Movie #495 "San Quentin" -- gotta love TCM, esp in August when this gem of a station dedicates a full day to an actor's work --- today is Humphrey Bogart, and the list of films are all ones I've seen ("To HAve and Have Not," "The Big Sleep," "Petrified Forest" (my fave)etc, but then this popped on at 7:15 a.m. and I hadn't seen it, and wasn't planning on seeing it (prison movies, yuck!) but he and Pat O'Brien and Ann Sheridan were so good, they drew me in. Guessed the ending (who wouldn't ?) but it still was a nice way to wake up to a beautiful day on the lake. Now, back to reality and stripping furniture!
Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
San Quentin
(1937) NR
In this fast-paced prison drama, Pat O'Brien stars as former Army officer Steve Jameson, who, after accepting a guard job at the titular penitentiary, initiates military-style reforms. But his changes don't go over with hardened inmate Joe Kennedy (Humphrey Bogart) -- especially when Jameson begins dating the convict's sister (Ann Sheridan). The supporting cast includes Barton MacLane, Veda Ann Borg and Joseph Sawyer.
