Movie review - "Seven Miles from Alcatraz" (1942) **

 Movie has an exciting set up - two crooks escape from Alcatraz and take over a household - loses some energy when they take over the house.

James Craig, who became MGM's back up Clark Gable, has a kind of muffled speaking voice, isn't quite right... I guess he's okay. I liked Bonita Granville.

The film needed people within the group to turn traitor -Craig's mate, say, or someone at the house. There's too many characters. 

This was fine. Not an undiscovered jewel but servicable.
