One of the best movie I have seen.And that this Movie is basted on a true story-it makes this move even better.To comper this with today's American jail's it,s a shame.Now most of American jail,s they execute them.ln Florida on a electric Chare, in California the Gas chamber, How sad is this, most criminals can be forgiven to put them back to society where they can take part of a good life. But it's easier to kill a Human being.How gruesame is this electric Chare.The dentist should rod in Hell

I have to admit this was well done, thought provoking, and in a way, interesting because it was a true story. And it is showing the never ending limitations of the criminal justice system and fantasy of rehabilitation.

Lovely film. Highlighting the humanity of the man's life and reformation.
