UW Cinematheque - The Best of Il Cinema Ritrovato

Cast: Millard Mitchell, Gilbert Roland, Charles Bronson
For this adaptation of a psychologist’s memoir, in which the author recalls his time using modern psychological techniques to help San Quentin inmates, director Fregonese shifts the focus of the story onto the prisoners. Produced by Stanley Kramer and shot on location at San Quentin, My Six Convicts is genuine auteurist cinema.
