I didn't see "Murder in the First," BK--if you're recommending it, I'll watch for it. Hume Cronyn was really convincing as a brutal prison captain, and it may be that the unlikeliness of him in that role reinforced it. Sorta like Henry Fonda as a cold-blooded killer in "Once Upon a Time in the West."

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
