About Violent Fate
Clint Hall and Kathy, his wife, see their honeymoon interrupted by the sudden illness of Kathy. On the way to find a doctor Clint is assaulted. Without money to buy medicines, he decides to intimidate the pharmacist to get the prescription by the doctor. When he refuses, Cint forces him but promises to give him the money the next day . Along the way he is arrested by police and sentenced to nine years of hard labor. Tired of hunger, thirst, abuse, hardship and violence, Clint makes an attempt to escape but fails, and repression from Captain Black, director of the prison, is terrible. Morally and physically exhausted, Clint is about to die when it comes the recognition of his innocence and freedom.
Directed by José María Forqué, Violent Fate leans on a strong ensemble — Anastasio Alemán, Rafael Luis Calvo, Manuel Díaz González — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1958.
