06/16/2023 One of the lesser successful “Eagle Lion” films, Writer Director Crane Wilbur forte, prison films, entertaining, but not very memorable See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 06/23/2016 Canon City is a decent film. It is about a prison escape from the Colorado State Penitentiary. Scott Brady and Jeff Corey give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Crane Wilbur did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the action and drama. See more 04/16/2016 Engrossing little crime film about a group of convicts who escape from prison, detailing their escape and all of their eventual captures or demises. Done in a Dragnet-like documentary style, which is the film's main weakness, it does have a grittiness and toughness not seen in all crime films of this era. Supposedly the filmmakers use real prisoners and prison employees in the film. Jeff Corey was the only actor I recognized, but you can't miss the stark black and white photography by John Alton. Not a brilliant film, but a tough violent little picture that's certainly worth checking out for fans of old timey crime pictures. See more 04/14/2016 good drama but hard to classify not a western not a prison picture but has elements of both.
