Sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit, a man fights for parole and discovers that he was jailed for political reasons. While trying to clear his name, he befriends a kindly nurse who believes his claims of innocence. But when he is blamed for the murder of a guard, his situation begins to get dramatically worse. Robert Wilcox, Beverly Roberts and George Pembroke star.
Directed by Victor Halperin of "White Zombie" fame and has the look of an old Warner Brothers crime drama. Interesting how the film deals with the issue of capitol punishment. It seems to be very much anti-death penalty. This film has been falsely categorized as a horror film by a few sources and even the film's poster suggests this. Despite the film's great title, no one gets buried alive, as the title is metaphorical.
About the print: This appears to be a reversal, reduction, or dupe of some kind on Agfa Gevaert 1S stock. No Vinegar Smell. Comes mounted on two 1600ft. reels.
This film appears to be solidly in the public domain.
Pictures above are all from the actual film being offered taken while the print was running on a projector. Film is much sharper than pictures indicate. Some pictures might be more out of focus than others due to the camera used NOT the actual print. We don't ever use stock photos.
If you have any questions at all feel free to ask and thanks for looking!
