A discovery from TMDB

Up the River

19381h 15m10.0/ 10 · TMDB · 1 votes
Comedy

A group of prison inmates pass the time playing football and romancing ladies in this prison escape crime musical screwball comedy that was apparently a wacky spoof of the crime movies that were so popular in the 1930s. It seems to be completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs.
