Castle on the Hudson (1940)

A hoodlum who took part in an arm robbery is sentenced to prison in Sing Sing, in New York State. He is used to having his way in every situation, but the warden is a tough guy.

An entertaining movie, well acted, and with a plot that's good to laugh at. It seems to be set in an alternate universe where ruthless criminals regenerate all of a sudden and can be relied upon to keep their "word of honor". This seems to be the same universe where most Brazilian legislators and court officials live.
