Convicted (1950 film)

Convicted is a 1950 American crime film noir directed by Henry Levin and starring Glenn Ford and Broderick Crawford.

Following a failed escape attempt by other inmates, an informant is killed in Knowland's office by Hufford's cellmate Malloby.

Knowland dangles the promise of parole in front of Hufford, but he refuses to talk and is banished to solitary confinement.

In a contemporary review, critic John L. Scott of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "The character personnel is uniformly good.

While plotting is essentially a masculine soap opera, scripting [from a play by Martin Flavin] supplies plenty of polish and good dialog to see it through.
