Prison Nurse (1938)
5/10
I Feel A Jailbreak Coming On
14 July 2020
Henry Wilcoxon is in prison for murder, and girlfriend Marian Marsh, a nurse at the prison, thinks he's been framed like he says wants him out. But will a flood, a plague, a prison break and probably locusts and the slaying of the first born be enough to do the trick?

Director James Cruze was on his last legs as a director, and looks to have been taking just about any script that came along, and the budget that went with it. He then proceeded to do his best with what he had which, considering the script and the budget that Republic was able to give him at this stage, wasn't very much. This leads to some very awkward shots, some odd set decoration, and a level of enthusiasm about the final, convenient clue that wraps up everything neatly that I just don't find particularly worthwhile.
