Charles Bickford plays the dedicated prison chaplain who feels sorry for a young man (Dennis Moore) given a harsh sentence for forging a ten dollar check, while Barton McLane is the tough prisoner who uses Bickford's interest to plan a breakout. Mutiny in the Big House was inspired by the 1929 Colorado State Prison riot in which twelve people were killed.
A preachy and predictable, but interesting prison flick.
Enjoy.
