Upon doing research, (I do that from time to time), I was looking for info on this prison, located in Miriam Illinois. While this film is total gloss, it seems to be hiding the fact that this was made to replace Alcatraz, which closed at around this time this prison was made. Lots of plans are made, people friendly interiors, funky designs etc. And it DOES look really good. Maybe I do have 2 prisons mixed up? Anyways, the background music for this one is certainly bonkers. All strings, and they;re stringing like mad here.
