There Was A Crooked Man Blu-Ray

Prisoner Paris Pitman, Jr. at Arizona Territorial Prison is a schemer, a charmer, and quite popular among his fellow inmates—especially with $500,000 in stolen goods stashed away and a plan to escape and retrieve them. The new prison warden, Woodward Lopeman, has other ideas about Pitman. Every man will see the tables turned on him.Academy Award® winner Joseph L. Mankiewicz has skillfully crafted a twisted tale of the Wild West with fights, chases, shootouts, and witty humor, based on a screenplay by David Newman and Robert Benton (Bonnie and Clyde). Kirk Douglas as Pitman and Henry Fonda as Lopeman lead a solid cast, with Hume Cronyn, Burgess Meredith, Warren Oates, and Lee Grant among the solid supporting actors. Boisterous yet blistering, lighthearted yet lacerating, There Was a Crooked Man... is, through all its moods, devilishly entertaining.
