Now Barabbas (1949)
6/10
Prison Melodrama
5 February 2021
This was one of the last films made at Teddington studios before it closed as a film studio in 1951. It is a portmanteau drama with no narrative but with the central drama being played out in the condemned cell where an unlikely Richard Greene has been sentenced to death for the murder of a policemen. We see the events leading up to the incarcerating of all the featured prisoners except Greene. Burton gives a standout performance.Kenneth More,with a moustache has a bit part. Hardwicke is a sympathetic governor. Not a memorable prison drama,but entertaining nonetheless.
