The kind of movie that will become your favorite of all movies ever. And this is primarily due to the lead actor, Stacy Keach, one of the best of all time. I've seen him in great films like: "Brewster McCloud"(1970), "Fat City"(1972), "The New Centurions"(1972), "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" (1972), "All the Kind Strangers"(1974), "Slave of the Cannibal God"(1978), "The Long Riders"(1980), "Mistral's Daughter"(1984), "False Identity"(1990), "Body Bags"(1993). Marianna Hill, very sensual in the role of the death row inmate, with whom Stacy Keach falls in love. James Sloyan, convincing in the role of a vicious guard, and M. Emmet Walsh is very funny in the role of head of the prison, especially in the scene when his naked ass is seen. The film is absolutely a delicious masterpiece, everything is superlative, the actors, the script, the direction, the music, everything. A movie of millions!
