I ain't the expert that you need, but I am a pretty fast
researcher. The play is by John Wexley, perhaps better known these days as a
leftist (author of _The Trial Of Julius And Ethel Rosenberg_). It appears
the play was a *big* hit. It has been filmed twice, neither time with
Spencer Tracy. The setting of the film is on death row in prison and the
action appears to involve a prison break.
