Following the tradition of 1960s and '70s Westerns in which the criminals are
the heroes, THERE WAS A CROOKED MAN takes devilish pride in the antics of armed
robber and murderer Paris Pitman, Jr. (Kirk Douglas), as he stages a prison
break with fellow lawless bumblers from a jail run by a warden (Henry Fonda)
who’d rather reform than punish, forsaking hard labor for building and learning.
Fonda conveys integrity with just his eyes, reinforcing his reputation as a
Western icon, while Douglas’s twinkle and grin invites the viewer to laugh along
with him as he dupes both his cronies and the warden. After the breakout, Fonda
pledges to bring Douglas back dead or alive in this entertaining, surprising
film from Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
