In the 1940's and into the early 1950's , both Mississippi and Louisiana had electric chairs which were moved between different courthouses as needed. Mississippi had an executioner named Jimmy Thompson, a tattooed ex-con. The chairs were powered by a diesel generator.
Filmed at the then recently vacated Kilby Prison in Montgomery, Alabama. Film makers were given access on the condition that they demolish the walls of the institution with explosions at the end of the film. Alas, the pyrotechnics used were not powerful enough to do the job. The state had to come in a few years later and level the walls into the ground.
I see now why I have never heard of this….i don’t know what you call this disaster. A movie? Or really shitty made for tv? lol. I hope to never see it again. The prisoners would have been begging for electrocution. So would the witnesses and guards.
One of the best Stacy ever did...
I would have flipped the switch just to stop his bullshit.
Only a dumbarse would do that
Great actor . I saw him in Pasadena doing a one man play in the 80s. Amazing.

Yuk! It would have been better to be dispatched with an axe.
Brilliant
