Up the River

0.0 75 mins Comedy   1938
20th Century Fox  
Director(s): Alfred L. Werker

A group of prison inmates pass the time playing football and romancing ladies in this prison escape crime musical screwball comedy that was apparently a wacky spoof of the crime movies that were so popular in the 1930s. It seems to be completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs.
