How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pre-code crime drama that traps two men in adjacent cells with murder hanging over both their heads, one condemned, one framed, both entangled in a woman's affection. The tension builds through confined spaces and desperation as execution looms.
