Watched an old Noir film about prison brutality, Brute Force (1947).
Does a good job of making the prisoners sympathetic, and even makes some commentary about how prison labor undercuts good union jobs.
Never seen Hume Cronyn in such a sinister role before.
Also uses any excuse to have Burt Lancaster take his shirt off.
Brief cameo of Yvonne De Carlo.

* I also thought Chopin was French. (I mean, yeah he got his name from his French father, but the composer is apparently Polish)
