I saw this movie a few times years ago on TV. have since looked for it and it has been very hard to find. It is just as good as I remember. I've shared it with friends and they had never heard of it and said it was one of the better movies they've seen. I used to run myself and the Rollingstones background music from "Sympathy for the devil" has made me want to run everytime I've heard it since I saw this movie years ago. It's a must see.
I loved the movie--had been looking for it for some time before I found it on eBay. My one disappointment was that it took almost a month before the seller got the movie to me and there was NO communication except when I was sent the address to mail my payment. I had given up on getting the movie and already purchased it from another website before it arrived. So now I have 2 copies!! But the movie is still terrific--just as good as I had remembered.
I paid over $21 (inc. shipping) for a used VHS tape that doesn't track and cant be played. Contacted seller and he said to send it back at my expense to have it cleaned. He said he had already cleaned it once. This is not acceptable way to do business. Advertised to be in top condition. I can't even play it and he should send another copy or return my money. I should no way have to pay shipping on his bad product, to get it back and have it still not work.
it show that no matter what situation you are in,in life, that if you try and do your best with hard work ,there some things that no one can take away from you.
"The Jericho Mile" is an excellent, powerful and inspirational production, and is one of the best made-for-television movies ever made. The incomparable Peter Strauss stars as an prison inmate serving a lifetime sentence for murder, who mentally escapes from the misery of prison by running. Great direction, fantastic cast. If you can find it, buy it!!!
