A charming but totally ruthless criminal is sent to a remote Arizona prison. He enlists the help of his cellmates in an escape attempt with the promise of sharing his hidden loot. Unhinged and off beat crime caper, something akin to Sam Peckinpah’s seminal Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia played for laughs. There Was A Crooked Man is of its time but still immensely interesting.
