Wikipedia article




'One Way Ticket' is a 1935 American crime film directed by Herbert Biberman starring Lloyd Nolan, Peggy Conklin and Walter Connolly. The film is based on the 1934 novel 'One-Way Ticket' by Ethel Turner.

It is a prison drama in which a man becomes a robber following the authorities' failure to convict a corrupt banker.

It was the directorial debut of Biberman, a playwright and theatre director of Marxist political leanings; following some theatrical success in New York, he signed a two-picture deal with Columbia in 1934, and it was followed by 'Meet Nero Wolfe' in 1936.

Critical reception



Writing for 'The Spectator' in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a mildly good review, judging it to be well acted and describing it as "criticiz[ing] as well as thrill[ing]". Greene drew particular attention to the prison break scene as the film's "one excellent sequence". (reprinted in: )
