Makes the point that prison is a microcosm of society's bigotries and group pressures against undesirable outsiders.

Based on the award-winning play by Miguel Pinero, and directed by Robert M. Young, the film is well-acted with a frightening view of prison life.

Product Description:
Bruce Davison stars in this brutal prison drama as Clark Davis, a white man convicted of molesting who is sent to "The Tombs", otherwise known as the Manhattan House of Detention. Infamous for its brutal and ruthless detainees, Davis immediately finds that he is a marked man once inside. Featuring a cast of mostly non-professionals, SHORT EYES is a blistering look at life in one of New York's most dangerous prisons.
