I WANT TO LIVE!

(1958, Robert Wise) Convicted for prostitution, perjury, and forgery — okay, the real-life Barbara Graham (Susan Hayward, Best Actress Oscar) was no angel. But was she a murderer? And did she deserve death? Starkly realistic treatment of a notorious case, with the last hour a painstaking, powerful procession to the gas chamber. Approx. 120 min. 35mm.
