- What is Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond / Riot in Cell Block 11 about?
RISE AND FALL OF LEGS DIAMOND, 1960, Warner Bros., 101 min. Director Budd Boetticher’s fast-moving look at mobster, Jack 'Legs' Diamond. Underrated Ray Danton is phenomenal in the lead role. Warren Oates is Diamond’s sickly brother, with Karen Steele, Elaine Stewart and Dyan Cannon as the women in his life.
RIOT IN CELL BLOCK 11, 1954, Republic (Paramount), 80 min. Producer Walter Wanger, just released after a short prison term for shooting the man he believed was his wife’s lover, was horrified at the conditions inside and recruited director Don Siegel to tell the story of what it was like. A down-and-dirty, uncompromising look at a penitentiary riot spurred by inmate abuse, with Neville Brand as the convict leader, Leo Gordon (an ex-con himself) as a psychopath and Emile Meyer as the warden.
