I am working on a project dealing with two people handcuffed together, so I had to watch this before it left Criterion Channel. I had known about it as THE SIMPSONS had did an episode based on it. Both actor’s did a really good job and the film worked out really nicely as a tale of friendship and tolerance. I can only imagine the impact of the film when it came out. The final scene where Cullen cradles Joker and sings to him while Joker smokes a cigarette is great. I also really dug Lon Chaney Jr. as a man who takes sympathy on the two men.
