WB Prison Pic Featuring Bogart and Billy Halop in Cautionary Tale

On the Cusp of His Budding Career as a Major Star, Humphrey Bogart Leads a Strong WB Cast Highlighting Dead End Kid Billy Halop. It's a Classic Warner's Message Movie that is a bit Heavy Handed at times but Makes it Point.

A Youth in the Neighborhood Looks Up to Petty Criminal Bogart and is Quickly Swept Up in an Evil Man's Whirlwind. Getting Caught and Sentenced to Sing Sing, Bogart and Halop have a Deep Connection but Only the Nineteen Year Old has any Chance at Redemption. It Comes at a Heavy Price, but at Least Now He Can Sleep.

Slightly Above Average for This Type of Thing and its Dramatic Story along with Bogart and Halop make this a Rewarding Film for its Iconic Depression Era Study. It's Tense and Edge of Your Seat if You Get Into It.

There's Also Many a Supporting Players that Make Things Interesting. An Old Timer Prison Librarian (Henry Travers) that Takes "Johnny" under His Wing is a Standout.
