★★★★★ · What a story! · Kentworth · 2015-03-28
Thoroughly enjoyable film, the story is engrossing, believable, and worth every minute of your viewing time. I would highly recommend this to anybody who enjoys films based on fact. There's a love story intertwined with a man who has been sentenced to death in the electric chair. How much better could it get? I loved this film, and I think many others would too. Watch it.

An incredible story and absorbing from start to finish. The girlfriend is wonderful in every way. A must see, unforgettable.
★★★★★ · A Face Made for Noir · Vivia · 2015-06-18
Engrossing drama, never dipping into melodrama. Uses lots of gorgeously-lit one/shots close up keep the tension and emotion high. The girlfriend has a face made for noir, especially her eyes...check this one out.

A little gem that takes you into the inner thoughts and feelings of the boy and girl.Taught and rough with some recognizable actors.Very much like a chess match with the very satisfying “checkmate” ending.Also some nice religious undertones as you would expect with the subject matter.
