Based on the true-life case of the incarceration of Dr. Samuel Mudd (Oscar-winning Warner Baxter), The Prisoner Of Shark Island is a fast-paced and stirring account of the victimisation of a simple man. Regarded as a personal favourite by the director, it was also the film he was said to be most happy with.
Written by Nunnally Johnson (The Grapes of Wrath, Tobacco Road), The Prisoner Of Shark Island dramatises the fatal shooting of Abraham Lincoln (Frank McGlynn, Sr.) and the subsequent visit by the assassin John Wilkes Booth (Francis McDonald) to Dr. Samuel Mudd's house to fix his broken leg. Unaware of Booth's treason, Mudd is later arrested ...
Featuring a blistering performance by John Carradine as a sadistic prison guard The Prisoner Of Shark Island was nominated for Best Picture by the American National Board of Review, and has rarely been screened over recent decades. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The Prisoner of Shark Island for the first time on UK home video in the 70th-anniversary year of its original release.
