Directed by John Ford
Prison convicts Spencer Tracy and Warren Hymer break free, but circumstances bring them back by choice. Tracy had been a hit on Broadway in the prison drama The Last Mile, and proved versatile when Up The River was developed as a comedy involving prison baseball, a genre mix that Tracy straddled with aplomb. Humphrey Bogart also turns in a fascinating first-feature performance.
