Movie review - "The Siege of Pinchgut" (1959) **1/2 (re-viewing)

 Such a great idea and amazing start,  with all the excitement sucked out of it via treatment.

- unrealistic casting

- wishy washy goal of convicts

- confused motivation other convicts (why does Victor Maddern go along with everything)

- wet performance from Neil McCallum

- doing absolutely nothing with Heather Menzies

- making the convicts too unscary

- not raising stakes
