January 25 movie: 20,000 Years in Sing Sing. Spencer Tracy stars as a prisoner in Sing Sing who is allowed to leave for a day on the "honor system" to visit his sick girlfriend (Bette Davis) and gets blamed for a murder while he's out. Why the warden didn't send a guard with him on his outing, I have no idea. The movie was remade almost shot for shot with John Garfield and Ann Sheridan, but I like this version better. The title refers to the combined sentences of everyone in Sing Sing.
