So similar so far to the Aussie series, ‘Prisoner’ with the naive new prisoner accused of killing a chief, and a sympathetic doctor. Throw in the hhard as nails ‘screw’, nicknamed the Freak – and you have all the early elements of what eventually morphed into ‘Wentworth’
Edited to add – the laundry steam press incident was in both Prisoner and Wentworth – now just waiting for a rooftop stand off
Wow! Howard Duffy amazing in this! Thanks
I'm an Ida Lupino fan.
Watch out for the lesbos new kid.
Check their ID cards during a count.
This was a Great Movie 🎥
Man' …. Those chicks are HOT!!!!!!
Yes Doctor, their are two lives with the woman that is having a baby if she dies.
Great movie stars 5
Hard to believe that this was based on a true story,huh? Wow…
@1:00:08,the FIRST known sighting of the Mullet……….
Makeup and hair done. Not too realistic of a prison compared to today. Maybe the times…when not so hard on women prisoners.
Both women just want casually down the hall in the beginning and stop to chat with an inmate?
Excellent movie with superior acting! Highly recommend!
Van Zant was a right piece of shit.The so called convicts were not half as bad.
Ahh, "chez la fem" quadrupled. Jan Sterling, Audrey Trotter, Phylis Thaxter, and that multi-talented Ida Lupino. I think Ida Lupino and Howard Duff were married at this time. As for Jan Sterling, she's a doll! Even as a 9-yr old boy when this premiered, I liked to look at Jan.
Now this was a Great movie Indeed, & when that woman died, I was yelling at the screen & I like how the women in the prison got along & stayed together with plans & when I saw how the husband got in, I was like: "Well Duh", it's like all prison movies they get in or out by the area where the laundry is done. Thanks for this wonderful classic movie, Hello To You All From South Carolina.❤️💯😳👮🏾🚓
Please do NOT fall for any of the idiotic scam ads. Thank you
Beverly Michaels is not in this movie nor is this movie listed in her filmography. Edit: This is a great movie! Ida Lupino never disappoints, especially with Howard Duff.
What those women had to endure…that worden Ida Lupino….brrrrr….😬
Caged
Both Jan Sterling and Gertrude Michael were also in Caged, another women’s prison film, which was a far better film.
Very different, but you sure got to love the inmates and despise the woman head warden and her boss. The Dr sure tried to do what’s right. Yes strange the child killer was released. Different but held my attention until the end. Wouldn’t want to be there.
She killed a child while she was driving so why shouldent she be locked up and in con finement i know its a movie but shouldent she be in solataty confinment for the child she killed just asking i dont fell sorry for her
I watch this potboiler mainly for Ida Lupino, but Jan Sterling steals the show as Brenda. That first scene where she's dishing out wisecracks while everyone welcomes her back to prison is just great.
Thanks for sharing this movie.
Wonderful Movie! Plot Twist – one by one a new woman turns up pregnant with no trace of how anyone is getting over to the other side. lol. So glad to have come across this movie.
Shawshank Redemption
I love how unrealistic …letting the lady inmates keep their high heels on no shackles and go to the next room to get processed , and the restraints ? no protocol, don’t even check on them, no paperwork, no record keeping,
Cleo Moore 😍 😍 😍
The doors made her do it…the DOORS MADE HER DO IT 🚪 🚪 🚪
That whining woman; her problem was she really thought she was better than the other women in there..
Ladies lookin' fine! Thank God they where allowed to have their hair curled each day, even in solitary, a real woman needs to feel & look good!😎👍
Board of Enquiry: "The convicted criminal illegally got into the woman's hospital ward, and 5 minutes later she's dead?" That gonna looks a bit suspicious. And then Doc let's him walk off to wonder round the rest of prison. Where the hell did that guy get a gun?? And funny that he asked that girl in bed where they are… with everything going on, she'd just went back to bed – but still know here they are?? 😆And she had zero reaction to the gun. Then the Big Boss Lady has hysterics and all is explained… Doc just happily carries on with no consequences, the convicted cild killer crazy lady is set free and everyone lives happily ever after. I realise this is 1950's but.. man, what a bizarre end. 😁. But I did enjoy it.🎬🎥
great movie , hard to watch. great remastering job , thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰………………
Excellent movie
I just witnessed the end will longer the warden should have to jail 😮
And probably some the prisoners needed to be free and evil woman should be in her jail white jacket forever 😮

Oh my God, she’
Pregnant the shit is going to hit the fan 💩💩💩

Doctor you got it all right she’s a hateful woman
Her heart is full of hate 😂😅😢
oh man I don’t Lupino would’ve made a great cetshwayo queen: Mistress Lupino, has a ring to it!
Beverly Michaels got my attention! Check out her movies, she is so good at being so bad 😌
I saw this quite a long time ago , good film , gives you an idea what it was like in the early days in prison . Ida Lapino was a rude and crude warden , her character had no empathy . Good actress for her time , thanks for posting .
Wow!!! This is difficult to watch.
