Review: Excellent “Men in Prison” Movie - When I first saw this movie it was on regular television, and I was somewhat shocked as to the content. It wasn’t that it bothered me, I was just taken aback that the subject matter was pretty rough & something not usually seen on network TV. For me it was an “in theater” experience. This is a very gritty look at the American prison system, & I can’t help but wonder if anything has changed very much over the years. The story here is a very good one, & it’s matched by the performances. The standout is Vic Morrow as the cruel, monstrous leader of the more ruthless convicts. I’ve been a fan of his since his debut in “Blackboard Jungle,” as gang leader Artie West, & in my eyes his performance as Hugo Slocum in “Glass House” is Artie West all grown up & even more of a beast than he was in “Jungle.” He terrorizes in virtually every scene he’s in, stealing the movie, & shows once more what a tremendous and underrated actor he was. For those who like prison movies, this is one not to miss. Just be prepared for the rough stuff which, for the time it was released, is as graphic as it could get. Review: Glass House - A Distorted View - Underlying meanings cannot be seen clearly by bystanders, its like looking through a thick glass panel where everything on the surface look glossy but what lurks beneath requires deeper insights into the system and human nature. A prison lock-up that does more harm than good gets the "big" cover up from people on the take, and people who wants to see justice done but were held back by the legal system. So everyone in the know, turns a blind eye believing that thorny issues will resolve itself. Vic Morrow was at his "chilling" best as Hugo Slocum, inmate leader. Failing to intimidate fellow inmates and naive new arrivals, Slocum would resort to violence, often resulting in death or severe injuries to his victims. Vic Morrow's portrayal of Slocum was three-dimensional. On the surface, Slocum looked every bit the disgusting leader, nothing-will-faze-him type. In the next instant, he was showering his affection on a young naive newcomer whom he thought would be a good substitute for the lack of the feminine touch in a man only prison. When Slocum failed to get the boy's cooperation, he let the other inmates have a go (brute force was used), I felt a sense of nausea surging through me, not so much the graphics, but the thought of what actually happened really turned my insides out. At this time, the camera panned to Slocum lying on his cell bed cringing and feeling restless, but whatever remorsefulness that Slocum may have had, did not make him attempt to stop it. Not recommended for children under 16. "Violence lovers" however, will be greatly disappointed for the lack of action. It is an art film with serious undertones. Not for the faint hearted. Superb acting especially by Vic Morrow and good support from Alan Alda, Billy Dee Willams and to a lesser extent, Glu Gulager. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Alan Alda, Alan Vint, Billy Dee Williams, Clu Gulager, Dean Jagger, Edward Bell, Kristoffer Tabori, Luke Askew, Roy Jenson, Scott Hylands, Tom Gries, Tony Mancini, Tracy Keenan Wynn, Truman Capote, Vic Morrow, Wyatt Cooper Contributor Alan Alda, Alan Vint, Billy Dee Williams, Clu Gulager, Dean Jagger, Edward Bell, Kristoffer Tabori, Luke Askew, Roy Jenson, Scott Hylands, Tom Gries, Tony Mancini, Tracy Keenan Wynn, Truman Capote, Vic Morrow, Wyatt Cooper See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 138 Reviews | | Format | Color, DVD | | Genre | Drama | | Language | English | | Runtime | 1 hour and 31 minutes | ## Images ![The Glass House [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-hz3gWHlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent “Men in Prison” Movie *by J***A on November 20, 2025* When I first saw this movie it was on regular television, and I was somewhat shocked as to the content.

BUT you have never seen or heard it better. this was not only an excellently directed film, but the great acting bug must have bitten the entire cast. there were no small actors here...only fine actors in every role...small parts and large roles as with alda and morrow and b.d. williams. morrow may have played a part he's done before, but here he is toning down his style and becomes even more frightening and loathsome. a gifted actor. dean jagger flawlessly makes a small part strong. i'll quit now by saying there were no little actors here. enjoy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/6739978-the-glass-house-dvd](https://www.desertcart.at/products/6739978-the-glass-house-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
