Behind Prison Walls (1943)
A reworking of a familiar theme, the story finds scheming steel tycoon James J. MacGlennon (Tully Marshall) and his high-minded lawyer son Jonathan (Alan Baxter) simultaneously ending up behind bars. While incarcerated, Jonathan tries to mend his larcenous father's ways, thereby drawing closer to his not-so-bad dad.

Awesome Movie
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Saw this at a Producers Releasing Corp. "revival" of films that would have been better left for dead. A truly bad movie that does offer some chuckles for its general ineptitude, bad acting, goofy dialogue and awful sets (not one scene set in or around the prison looks like it has anything to do with a prison but instead looks like it takes place in a boring 1930s office building). Did Joel and the Bots ever get ahold of this one? It would have been perfect. Definitely better with an audience to share the howlers.
