Lucky Break

Algo raro pasa en el centro penitenciario de Long Rudford. Los tipos duros del pabellón B se están ablandando. Se prueban pelucas y vestuario, y reciben clases de canto y baile. Parecen sufrir la atracción de las candilejas mientras preparan un horroroso montaje de aficionados. Pero quizá nada es lo que parece. (FILMAFFINITY)

Half-way through his 12-year prison sentence for an incompetent armed robbery, Jimmy Hands gets a lucky break: he's transferred to a prison from which he can probably escape. He convinces the governor to stage a musical in an old chapel next to the prison's outer wall. He rounds up volunteer actors and puts his escape plan into production. Two other barriers, besides the wall, confront him: the arrival of a nasty inmate, John Toombes, who insists on joining the escape, and Jimmy's feelings of attraction for Anabel, a social worker who agrees to appear in the play. Opening night approaches: is this Jimmy's breakout performance?
