Compelling Prison Thriller,
By C. Mathieu "waldenpond88" (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House of Numbers (Hardcover)
Recently we watched all excellent 82 episodes of "Prison Break" which instantly reminded me of this old Jack Palance thriller called "House of Numbers", one of my all-time favorite movies from the fifties.When I watched it again, I noticed it's based on a book by Jack Finney, so I ordered the novel via Inter Library Loan at our local library. The movie is very similar to the book, only the mean prison guard, Nova, is even meaner in the book. It's a very fascinating book/movie about two brothers (Jack Palance plays Arnie and Bill). Arnie ends up in St. Quentin and is on death row for killing a prison guard which he supposedly has not done. Like Wentworth Miller in "Prison Break", Bill manages to get inside the prison in order to try to rescue his brother Arnie. They come up with a very unique plan... But that's where the similarities with "Prison Break" end. Watch the movie on TCM if you get a chance and definitely read the book. I highly recommend it. |
